The Holzhausen Roman Fort is an impressive example of Roman military architecture on the Upper Germanic Limes—now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is idyllically situated in the forest near Holzhausen an der Haide in the Rhein-Lahn district and is one of the best-preserved Limes forts in Germany.

5/26/24: Unfortunately the spring is closed; the tap has been removed. The same goes for the Johannisquelle nearby. Tip: Sauerbrunnen in nearby Rückershausen. Tastes delicious!

A beautiful border, which was, however, under water during our visit on May 23, 2024.

Very nice route along the water. There is a rest area with benches at Jammertal. There are generally a few places to sit. You have to expect muddy terrain.

An insight into the world of the Romans on the Limes. Preserved or upgraded true to the original with a lot of commitment. The fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

There is a lot to discover here, especially if you want to find out more about the Romans. It's open 24 hours and when we were there (Saturday afternoon) we were the only ones there. It's definitely worth a detour.
