The Limes is omnipresent on the Taunus ridge; numerous information boards provide information about the border of the Roman Empire and the various excavation finds.

You can still see remnants of the Limes.

In some places there are even replicas so you can see and feel history!

I am a visual, motor learner and like to see and feel things.

History only through books is so boring

Here and there, clear “signs” of the Limes are still visible.
