The Herzberg Tower is a popular lookout tower and a destination for many hikers. Similar to the neighboring Saalburg, the Herzberg Tower owes its current form to, among other things, the interest of Kaiser Wilhelm II: he brought the Taunusklub to the idea to build a lookout tower. To appreciate the proximity of the Limes and the Roman fort, the shape of the tower was modeled on a Roman Limes watchtower, but at 24.5 m in height it is larger than the towers of the time - which is very beneficial for the long-distance view. The Herzberg Tower can not be reached by car. Please use the car park at the Saalburg Saalburg, which is located directly on the B456 between Bad Homburg and Wehrheim. It is well signposted. From the parking lot, a circular path leads to the Herzberg Tower. Follow either the signage red deer or green fir.
Particularities:
Popular destination with a marvelous panoramic view. The restaurant of the Berggasthof offers hot meals until one hour before closing.
