Mountain biking

The small watchtower made of wood and clay above Butzbach (near the Schrenzerbad) is a very worthwhile destination! Not just because of the great view!

Easy to reach, unfortunately closed for good reason. Information boards.

The wooden tower on the Schrenzer Berg near Butzbach is one of the oldest attempts to reconstruct a wooden watchtower on the Limes. In 1898 the site near the well-preserved pile ditch was examined by the Reich Limes Commission, where there were two "inconspicuous" mounds.
