Limes Romano en El Taunus

Excellent

North of Frankfurt am Main, is located in the Taunus mountains, a small mountain range covered with lush forests, with a vast network of roads, forest roads and marked trails for the enjoyment of the inhabitants of the Rhein-Main region. This union of rivers and mountains was used by the Roman Empire to build their defensive barrier against the "barbarians" of the north. The Limes Germanicus was from the Rhine to the Danube, the northern border of the empire. Within a thick, dark forest, we can see the mounds showing the route of the wall snaking through the hills and valleys of the area. I visited for the first time on a cold winter afternoon, lacking only peeling Romans and Germans in the area.

The Limes is labeled path and you can pretty much walk on it. Do not expect a huge wall, with towers and battlements. Rather, they are what is left remains, but they give us a good picture of the environment in the area. The chamber then was not quite there and there was very little light, so no photos direct Limes. So I put some of the surrounding roads leading to uniting the different sections of the Limes. What if you can find are some reconstructions that have been made to see how the Roman defenses were in the area. The most interesting is the castle / fortress Saalburg, where there is also a museum with archaeological findings in the area very educational. It is customary for the locals go to spend the weekend in the area with children there, and then enjoy walking. A good idea of ​​course is to walk out from Oberursel, which is accessible by subway to Saalburg. From there follow the Limes Sandplacken up near where we stop for lunch and from there, get back to Oberursel. He can walk but it is also an ideal course if you want to ride a bike!
