The special thing about this watchtower is its location, 75m from the Limes. From this location, the guards had an excellent view of the Limes foreland.

December 14, 2025,Säunickels Kleiderschrank – Runde um die Saalburg

Today I took a walk around the Saalburg without actually going inside.

We've been to the Saalburg several times before, and today there was a Christmas tree sale and market, carol singing, and probably a church service, so the parking lot was absolutely packed.

Consequently, the Saalburg was quite busy.
