Parts of the Roman Temple of Mercury from the 2nd to 3rd centuries AD are still preserved on the Wachtfelsen (watch rock), not far from the Wasenburg ruins.
Information board at the site:
Take a look at the Wachtfelsen (watch rock), which was used by the Romans as a "specula," an observation post. Archaeological finds also testify to a temple dedicated to Mercury on this site.
