Definitely not recommended coming from Bad Homburg, uphill two-lane road with a lot of traffic (driven on Saturday); We were happy when we managed it (or survived?)…

If you are not only interested in Germans + Romans, but are also looking for a sporting challenge, the German Limes Road is just the thing for you - but also not entirely harmless due to the traffic with the Hoex curve...🚴‍♂️

The German Limes road (via the B456) with the Saalburg pass (414m above sea level) is the most easterly and probably best-known pass over the Taunuskamm. The fame comes from the Roman fort Saalburg, which secured the crossing in Roman times, was partially reconstructed at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and is a tourist attraction. Today the pass connects the district town of Bad Homburg vor der Höhe with the former district town of Usingen, the B 456 runs over it.

The main Taunus ridge represents the natural border between the Vordertaunus and Hintertaunus. At that time, this separated the Roman Empire from the Germanic Empire...🚴‍♂️

Beautiful, long and sometimes steep climb or a great descent where you can sometimes be over 70 km/h fast.
