The Fränkischer Albverein, Schwäbischer Albverein, Spessartbund, Taunusklub and Westerwald-Verein , which are part of the German Hiking Association , agreed on November 23, 2010 in the resolution of the Limes hiking associations on the quality of the Limes hiking trail for a (if possible) uniform marking symbol and a clear one recognizable, clear and, as far as possible, authentically running and thus fulfilling monument conservation requirements .
