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".

Hiking

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

A detour that is really worth it ... 👌😎
Numerous display boards provide information about the history of the listed building. The castle ruins were only completely restored several years ago on the occasion of the recognition of the Upper German-Rhaetian Limes as a UNESCO World Heritage Site (2005). taunus.info/angebote/kultur-und-geschichte/kelten-und-roemer/kastell-kapersburg/3090
