The Wetterau is a pretty hilly area with a wonderful landscape and a lot of fruit is growing there. 2. Wir finden ein Stück wieder aufgebauten Limes. Der Limes ist ein von den Römern angelegter Grenzwall und besteht aus einem Graben, einem Wall und einer Reihe aus Palisaden. The ancient Romans have been here in our area a long long time ago.
