Old Obernhain Water Main Spring

Highlight • Structure

Old Obernhainer water pipe in the Hochtaunus nature park. This place is called "The Source" by the people of Obernhain. It was created in the 1920s. The supply line was not routed to the site because the "old elevated tank" was being built. The spring was restored in 2000 by Obernhainer citizens Heinz Marx, Hartmut Bender and Kurt Keller. This rest area is prepared by the citizens of Obernhainer on a voluntary basis.

Saalburg Roman fort

Highlight • Historical Site

The Saalburg, a fort with a camp village on the border of the Roman Empire and the Germanic tribal areas in Roman times, was rebuilt around 1900 on the initiative of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The complex, which is unique in the world, is part of the UNESCO Limes World Heritage Site. The complete fortifications, buildings made of stone and wood and reconstructed baking ovens can be seen. Staged rooms, models and archaeological finds illustrate the living and working environment of the soldiers and the population in the village outside the gates. A tour of the Saalburg gives visitors a good insight into the history, culture and way of life of the Romans.

Saalburg Roman Fort – Right Principal Gate (Porta Principalis Dextra)

Highlight • Historical Site

In Roman times, the Saalburg was a fort that served to monitor a Limes section in the Taunus. The Limes formed the border of the Roman Empire for about 150 years to the tribal areas of the Teutons. Today, the fort is turned into an interesting museum. You can explore the terrain on your own or with a guide. A guided tour lasts 45 minutes and costs 2 euros. For entry to the Roman fort you pay 7 euros. The museum is open daily from March to October from 9am to 6pm. During the winter months, the doors will remain closed on Monday. All further information can be found here: saalburgmuseum.de.
