Weil Spring

Highlight • Natural

The Weil spring is located at approximately 740 meters in the immediate vicinity of the former Feldberg fort! This is where the Roman Limes guards once drew their fresh water, and this is probably why they chose this location for a fort (rather than directly at the strategically much more advantageous "Red Cross" pass).

Kleiner Feldberg Roman Fort

Highlight • Historical Site

The Limes ran right through the Taunus more than 2,000 years ago. Countless watchtowers and forts still bear witness to this today. Some are well reconstructed and preserved, others only have the foundations. At the Kleiner Feldberg fort there are still remains of the wall, so you can get a good idea of the extent. Incidentally, this example is the highest Roman fort on the entire Limes.

Kleiner Feldberg

Highlight • Summit

On the summit of the 825 m high small Feldberg, which belongs to the municipality of Glashütten, there are several physical, meteorological and geophysical measuring stations in a fenced area.

In the “Hans Ludwig Neumann Observatory” of the Physical Association of Frankfurt, the solar system is searched for small planets. From 2006 to 2011, 119 minor planets were discovered there.

With modern seismological measuring instruments in a bunker 5 m below the earth's surface, the measurements taken there are used, among other things, to explore the structure of the earth's interior. In the INUIT research group at the Institute for Meteorology and Geophysics at the University of Frankfurt, aerosols suspended in the air are being investigated with regard to their importance as condensation nuclei for cloud formation.

Brunhildis Rock (Großer Feldberg)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The meeting point is on the summit plateau. A little away from the road, you can enjoy the wide view over the Hintertaunus from here. When the visibility is good, you can see as far as the Westerwald and the Vogelsberg.
