Roman Watchtower on Gaulskopf

Highlight • Monument

Wonderful as a stage destination. On the one hand a great view of the Wetterau, on the other hand the green area behind the tower offers space for a picnic.

The last part is steep and difficult to drive due to some places with large slate stones and boulders anchored in the ground. (On the map, this last track can be found under "Trail at Maria (boulder field)" and so easy to get around if you want a simple tour.) In most places you can avoid the resulting drops.) The rest is easy too drive. There are a few small climbs.
