Saalburg Roman Fort – Right Principal Gate (Porta Principalis Dextra)

Highlight • Historical Site

In Roman times, the Saalburg was a fort that served to monitor a Limes section in the Taunus. The Limes formed the border of the Roman Empire for about 150 years to the tribal areas of the Teutons. Today, the fort is turned into an interesting museum. You can explore the terrain on your own or with a guide. A guided tour lasts 45 minutes and costs 2 euros. For entry to the Roman fort you pay 7 euros. The museum is open daily from March to October from 9am to 6pm. During the winter months, the doors will remain closed on Monday. All further information can be found here: saalburgmuseum.de.

A wide clearing allows a unique view of Wehrheim and Neu Anspach. It is located directly on the Limes Adventure Trail. There are seats on the leftover wooden stumps.

Herzbergturm

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

From the Herzberg tower you have a wonderful panoramic view. The Berggasthof Herzberg offers the perfect opportunity for a rest before the descent. Hot meals served all day.

Jupiter Column near Saalburg

Highlight • Monument

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.
