#taunusmountains

i am a rock. i am an island. i've built walls a fortress deep and mighty that none may penetrate. ( simon & garfunkel . i am a rock ) this rock formation in the #frauenstein woods is a magical place - it is an entity, a forest spirit. i felt very safe in its vicinity and touching it made me wonder in awe how mother nature could create such an enchanting being. can you spot its face? #rockformations #forest #taunusmountains #naturalwonders #naturespirits (hier: Frauenstein, Hessen, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTq_bYXNi4O/?utm_medium=tumblr

summer fading out... i am an autumn child through and through, and so it is only natural i get excited over the smallest signs that summer will soon be over ❤️ all these images were shot around #fischbach & #bärstadt. #endofsummer #inthewoods #taunusmountains #taunus #forests #fishponds #blackberries #foreshadowing #illuminations (hier: Taunus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTZAIBVD5jt/?utm_medium=tumblr

everything turns greener day by day. the fresh colours everywhere are quite a mood enhancer, aren't they? i love spring and after such a long winter i welcome it all with open arms.

i love snow, it's the only thing i like about winter. makes everything look so much cozier and it silences sounds and gives peace of mind. a white-out. a blank page. the air is clear and icy and your skin and body feels alive. i'll try to make as many snow trips as possible this year. and i know where the best places are that are most devoid of people. because i do like my snow without a lot of human beings 😅 #winterlandscapes #winterescapes #snowandice #taunusmountains #stonequarries #kuckucksley #wambach (hier: Taunus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJvSIG7npVO/?igshid=1xbvndt73s5fm

a replica of a roman palisade for the #limes boundary wall. the upper germanic-rhaetian limes protected the external frontiers of germania superior and raetia, two roman provinces existing over 500 years from the first to fifth century. all over the taunus mountains you can still find remains and ruins of those walls and the occassional replica of watch towers or palisades, even some forts. #history #romanhistory #obergermanischerrätischerlimes #taunusmountains #woods #palisades #hessia (hier: Georgenthal, Hessen, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4J4UvkIRj_/?igshid=139nwoxkjwwdz

i went on a long mushroom finding mission yesterday on the platte plateau in the taunus mountains, where you can find this curious-looking building. it was formerly a hunting lodge for the nassau dukes, but after being bombed out in the second world war basically remained a shell. the glass ceiling, which reminds me of radar stations somehow, was installed in 2003. nowadays the lodge is used as an event location. i love the sandstone facade, the patterns are so decorative 😗 #taunusmountains #architecture #jagdschlossplatte #palaces #huntinglodges #sandstone #oldmeetsnew #fusionarchitecture (hier: Jagdschloss Platte) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3JXugSHLft/?igshid=2nrpiswkdvzn
