What fell victim to agriculture elsewhere is well preserved in the forests of the Hessian Taunus. Rome's military fortifications, such as the Kapersburg near Rosbach vor der Höhe, give an idea of the Limes in late antiquity. At that time they were guard and scout posts, today they are cultural monuments within the UNESCO World Heritage "Borders of the Roman Empire".

Easy to reach and also pretty interesting. Unfortunately, not much is preserved, but some information signs are appropriate.

The 134 x 122 m area is still completely enclosed by walls and towers, some of which are as tall as a man. It offers a great insight into the Roman past of the Taunus. The fort was designed for a Roman number (150 - 200 men) and, together with the Feldberg fort, flanked the Saalburg 7 km away (cohort fort for 500 men).
