The Limesturm with ramparts and palisades is worth a break. Finding the Fort coat of arms is rather something for fans of the late Kafka (eg "The Castle") who are traveling by mountain bike. The entire area with the Aar-Quelle, Limes-Lehrpfad and Mini-Wald-Colloseums-Mulde is very beautiful - even without visible remains of the fort.

Gives a nice impression of the Limes, here from the perspective of the Germanic tribes...
