    Nice replica of an old Roman watchtower on the course of the Limes. Also a nice place for a picnic with kids.

      These watchtowers on the Limesweg always invite you to take a little rest.

        And when you walk along the Limes Trail and notice how long it runs in a dead-straight line almost to Butzbach, it's truly impressive what the technology was capable of in those ancient times.

        Currently, a significant number of the steps leading up to the tower have been removed, making climbing impossible. What a shame 🥴 The Schiffenberg Local History Association, which had the structure built in 1967, is working to replace the dilapidated parts. It's not yet clear when the tower will be accessible again.
