June 19, 2025, Rest Area with View of Katzenelnbogen

New, clean rest area. Great views of Katzenelnbogen and the surrounding area, as well as the TGaunus up to the Feldberg (on a clear day).

This fort is one of the best preserved structures on the entire Limes. Guided tours are also offered at regular intervals. Everything you need to know can be found here: https://www.limeskastell-holzhausen.de/

The main gate of the fort is called Porta Praetoria. It is the only double gate in the fort, and the pillar in the middle is clearly visible.

Here you can easily imagine what a Roman fort must have looked like. There are also information signs showing the location of each building.
