    Mountain biking

    The Weil spring is located at approximately 740 meters in the immediate vicinity of the former Feldberg fort! This is where the Roman Limes guards once drew their fresh water, and this is probably why they chose this location for a fort (rather than directly at the strategically much more advantageous "Red Cross" pass).

    This is where the Weil originates! After the Aar, the longest stream/river in the Taunus (46 km).
    Unfortunately, in the last hot summers, due to the falling groundwater level, there was no significant spring release!

    Hiking

    Origin of the approximately 45 km long Weil just above the former Roman fort.
