Historical BackgroundThe Old Territorial Border: The trail makes visible an old territorial border that ran through the landscape between 1600 and 1816. It separated the territory of the Principality of Isenburg (Ysenburg) from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt.Route: The historical border line extends from the southern edge of the Frankfurt City Forest at the so-called Gehspitz, across the Mitteldicker Wald, past present-day Dreieich-Buchschlag, through the Langener Mühltal, to Koberstadt in the Haag near Dreieichenhain.Special Features and Sights Along the TrailHistorical Boundary Stones: Along the trail, hikers pass numerous well-preserved historical boundary stones. Particularly striking are twelve large boundary stones set in 1783, as well as artful coat-of-arms stones on the border with Koberstadt, Hanau.Medieval Landwehr: A section is dedicated to the historical Dreieich Ring Landwehr at Buch-Schlag. Near Hainer Trift, a part of this medieval rampart, including its boundary ditch and a symbolic wooden barrier, has been reconstructed.Nature and Water Bodies: The trail connects dense forest areas with scenic highlights. For example, one section leads along the Isenburger Weg through Hochwald and past the northeastern shore of the Holzmann pond.

"Border crossing" in connection with the old Dreieich ring fortification. Near the crossing, the old structures of the ring fortification (including old boundary stones) are still clearly visible.

The underpass is covered with new graffiti at irregular intervals. These aren't the usual "scribbles," but rather some truly well-executed images. The current deer is truly impressive.

A beautiful spot for a view of the Frankfurt skyline. It's always a pleasure to drive over the bridge and wonder what the view of Frankfurt will be like.
