Arzbach: Römerturm: Großer Kopf
Few places in Rhineland-Palatinate have a history as closely tied to the Roman frontier as Arzbach. This small municipality in the Rhein-Lahn district lies in the wooded Westerwald, above the Lahn valley and near Bad Ems. The Roman fort of Arzbach formed part of the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes, the frontier system that marked the edge of the Roman Empire in this region. Its chain of forts, watchtowers and barriers is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Arzbach combines forested ridges with fields and dispersed settlement, while the nearby Lahn valley connects it with the spa-town landscape around Bad Ems.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
