Hiking

At the highest point in the area (552 m above sea level) and thus at the highest point of the Odenwald Limes, there was also a Roman sentry post. It is called "Hohwald sentry post" and is located directly on the Limes path.
This post consisted of two towers, of which only the curved wall can be seen from the wooden tower. The stone tower, whose foundation walls are preserved and can be seen, probably replaced the wooden predecessor.
