It's a shame how many trees are dead here. Nevertheless, this spot offers a great view toward Frankfurt.

The Herzberg Tower is a popular destination for cyclists and hikers. Comparable to the neighboring Saalburg, the tower owes itself to the interest of Kaiser Wilhelm II, who was enthusiastic about antiquity: he encouraged the Taunus Club to build a lookout tower there. In order to appreciate the proximity of the Limes and the Roman fort, the shape of the tower was modeled on a Roman Limes watchtower.

Not far south of the Saalburg is a replica of a Jupiter column found in Mainz in 1904/05. The replica was made by the Mainz sculptor Eduard Schmahl and completed in 1912. The approximately 12-meter-high Jupiter column is a listed building. The figure was renovated between 2011 and 2014.

If you go hiking there regularly with a few, you can't help but notice how the forests are thinning. Bleached kindling everywhere on …
