Saalburg Roman fort is a former fort of the Roman Limes located on the Taunus ridge northwest of Bad Homburg vor der Höhe. The cohort fort lies directly west of the modern-day B456 federal highway, roughly halfway between the town of Bad Homburg vor der Höhe and the municipality of Wehrheim in the Hochtaunus district. It is considered the best-researched and most completely reconstructed fort of the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes, which has held UNESCO World Heritage status since 2005.

Here you will find the office building of the construction yard and other historical buildings that were reconstructed at the beginning of the 19th century when the Roman fort was rebuilt.

The column was erected in front of Homburg Castle in honor of the 50th anniversary of the reign of Landgrave Friedrich V Ludwig. A replica stands here in the large Tannwald forest.

Fantastically beautiful single trail (Weberpfad) along the Kirdorfer Bach. As for the closures for bikers: There are currently no corresponding signs at the entrances! Has the ban on cycling been lifted in the meantime? By the way, I didn't see any hikers, dog walkers, etc. here today (on a sunny Sunday afternoon) 😏
