Taunusstein

Built around a cluster of older settlements on the southern Taunus, Taunusstein grew into a modern Hesse municipality in 1971. The town lies in the Aar valley north of Wiesbaden and comprises ten districts spread between wooded uplands, rather than one dominant historic centre. In Wehen, the remains of Burg Wehen recall the region’s long association with the House of Nassau. At Orlen, the route of the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes adds a Roman frontier dimension: this former border system forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site Frontiers of the Roman Empire.
