Mighty Tree.
According to the plaque it is only 400 years old. Looks pretty battered.

Well done, unfortunately large parts of the path are forest waste.

Today we paid a visit to the Romans in the Wetterau and walked along the Limesweg there.

Much designed with little pictures very child-friendly.
The figures set up come very close to the comic - at the Teutates!😎


The watchtower is very beautiful. There is also a small facility with an individually designed hut and loungers.

Very nice path, also suitable for strollers, with lots of variety for children. There are a few figures, a defensive tower, etc. along the path and provide entertainment.
There is also a small restaurant at the entrance.

After the conversion measures are completed, the paths are now paved with chippings. While it's good that you can now run in any weather, I do miss the foot-friendly, springy forest floor. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether things have gotten better or worse.
