waldGLASweg Station 1: Awakening

Highlight • Monument

The waldGLASweg is an art trail in the Glashütten Forest, which stretches over 1.5 km with 7 stations made of glass.

The Glashütte artist Ines Nickchen had the idea of using glass to create a wide arc from the Limes to the history of glass, and in doing so to give philosophical thoughts along the way, with symbols that Christians at the time of the Limes would have understood. Ines Nickchen developed a concept from the idea and won the glass construction school in Vilshofen an der Donau as a partner for the implementation of the concept. This took place thanks to the friendly mediation of the famous Lamberts glassworks in Waldsassen, from which the colored glass of the waldGLASweg also comes.

The waldGLASweg was inaugurated in 2013.

Historic Boundary Stone at the Limes (Mainz–Hessen-Nassau Border)

Highlight • Monument

Historic boundary stones along the Limes in Nassau-Hesse, often part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, mark not only the ancient Roman border, but also later historical border demarcations (e.g., between the County of Nassau and the Archbishopric of Mainz) that were based on the Limes; they are well preserved and visible along the way, such as the one in the Kröftel area, which shows the Mainz Wheel (Roman side) and the Nassau Lion (Germanic side), and offer impressive insights into the history of the Limes, often accessible via hiking trails such as the Limes Circular Trail.
