Saalburg near Bad Homburg

I visited the edge of the old Roman fort in Germany called Saalburg near Bad Homburg. It was only a 30-minute drive from Frankfurt, and a very pleasant place to visit over a weekend. Amazing that this is part of a long wall called the Limes (like China's Great Wall) laid out in such a distance. Also incredible to think that this is from more than 2000 years ago. Interestingly, the walls are not so high, and are not meant to prevent attacks but more to notice trespassers.
