The sentry post "In der Vogelbaumhecken" was examined at the end of the 19th century by the Reichs-Limeskommission. In 1979, Rotary Club Erbach-Michelstadt carried out cleaning work and reconstructed the towers.

The Limes border system is an impressive relic from Roman history that marks the former border of the Roman Empire. 🏛️ Here you can explore the remains of watchtowers, walls and other fortifications, which offer a fascinating insight into Roman architecture and defense strategies. An exciting place for history buffs and hikers.
