Tannenwaldallee

Highlight • Natural

Great, this straight poplar avenue below the Gothic House.
The “Tannenwaldallee”, as it is called, was created 250 years ago!

Not far south of the Saalburg is a replica of a Jupiter column found in Mainz in 1904/05. The replica was made by the Mainz sculptor Eduard Schmahl and completed in 1912. The approximately 12-meter-high Jupiter column is a listed building. The figure was renovated between 2011 and 2014.

Saalburg Roman Fort and Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

The archaeological excavations at the Saalburg began in the mid-19th century. From 1894, the ancient studies Louis Jacobi led the excavations and from 1897 to 1907 the reconstruction of the fort, promoted by the antique enthusiastic Kaiser Wilhelm II. For the reconstruction Jacobi oriented himself to the designs of ancient models, so that the existing parts of today's plant an approximately faithful to the original impression Offer. Today, the complex houses the Saalburg Museum and a research institute. Around the reconstructed fort they tried to rebuild a Roman landscape with the camp village, temples, sanctuaries and public buildings. To visit today are so among other things, the Jupiter Column and the Temple of Mithras. In 2005 UNESCO included the Upper German-Raetian Limes and thus the Saalburg in the list of world cultural heritage.

Herzbergturm

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Herzberg Tower is a popular destination for cyclists and hikers. Comparable to the neighboring Saalburg, the tower owes itself to the interest of Kaiser Wilhelm II, who was enthusiastic about antiquity: he encouraged the Taunus Club to build a lookout tower there. In order to appreciate the proximity of the Limes and the Roman fort, the shape of the tower was modeled on a Roman Limes watchtower.
