At the eastern approach toward Hunzel, there is a rest area with a view, a viewing window and an information board about the Limes in Berg.

The wider Rhein-Lahn region
The wider area covered by the Rhein-Lahn destination includes the right bank of the Rhine around the mouth of the Lahn, the Lahn Valley as far as just before Limburg near Diez, the southern foothills of the Westerwald toward the Lahn Valley, and the northern uplands of the Taunus between the Rhine and the Aar. The Roman Limes runs through the district; remains are still visible today and form part of the Upper German-Raetian Limes UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Upper Middle Rhine Valley is also part of this regional cultural heritage. The UNESCO World Heritage Site covers a 65-kilometre stretch between Bingen, Rüdesheim and Koblenz, with historic small towns, terraced vineyards and castle ruins. The section on the right bank of the Rhine from Kaub to Lahnstein lies in the Rhein-Lahn district. In Bad Ems, the spa house, assembly hall, villas, former hotels, churches, spa gardens and historic panoramic paths make up the “Historic Spa Town of Ems” heritage zone. The Marksburg, the only medieval hilltop castle on the Middle Rhine never to have been destroyed, also forms part of the historical perspective on the wider Rhein-Lahn region. Within the broader Rhein-Lahn destination, Bad Ems offers a different focus: the Emser Therme provides wellness treatments using thermal water from healing springs and features a river sauna. The Bad Ems Spa and Town Museum explores the history of the town, once a world-famous spa; the Mining Museum tells the story of the lives of miners. On guided tours of Oranienstein Castle, you can visit historic rooms and the Nassau-Oranien Museum; advance reservations by phone or email are required.
