    A sign here points out that at this point the 50th degree of latitude north runs through the town of Hösbach-Bahnhof.

    This is precisely where the 50th parallel runs, often referred to as the northern limit for viticulture.
    Geographical latitude indicates the distance from a point on the Earth's surface to the equator.
    The equator is 0 degrees latitude, and the North Pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude.
    Hösbach is on the same latitude as Mainz, Wittlich, Lizzard Point (Southern England), Kharko (Ukraine), Portage la Prairie (Canada), and Ulan Gom (Mongolia).

    It is amazing and interesting which cities are located on the 50th parallel. Here in Hösbach there is only the sign. There are only a few indications of larger cities on the 50th parallel.
