Roman Watchtower 3/68 Fröhlichmannskopf

Highlight • Historical Site

The special thing about this watchtower is its location, 75m from the Limes. From this location, the guards had an excellent view of the Limes foreland.

A boundary stone from 1803 is hidden in the bushes here by the roadside. It marked the border between the County of Ingelheim Ober-Erlenbach (GI OE) and Hesse-Homburg Friedrichsdorf (HH F).
