Feldbergstrasse
Map with all coordinates: The Feldbergstraße was a Roman road from Nida to the fort on the Kleiner Feldberg , the bath house in the Middle Ages as a Gentile Church was called. The road, which is probably also known as Heidenstraße for this reason, originated at the northern gate of the Roman town and ran straight through Niederursel , Weißkirchen (train station) , Oberhöchstadt (forest settlement) , next to the Hünerbergswiesen on the eastern slope of the Altkönig , where it turned west over the Fuchstanz and followed suit about 250 meters in a north-westerly direction and reached, again in a straight line, the south gate of the Limes fort. Even today, the Pflasterweg and Haderweg forest paths mark their course, and it is significant that it is still the boundary between Kronberg im Taunus and Oberursel over long stretches .
Some sections are still used today as roads or paths:
