Hiking

The collecting line for the water from five springs in the foothills, which began at Hermülheim Castle, was increased after Cologne was raised to the status of a colony (around 50 AD). During the construction work required for this, the older line was used as a substructure: its channel was blocked with tuff blocks and the pillars for the new overhead line, which was laid out on arches, were erected on top of it.

Hiking

The pillars and segment arches of the aqueduct, built after 50 AD, rest on the older foothills made of dark blue basalt rammed concrete. The roofed gully above the apex of the arch was reconstructed for reasons of clarity. Wikipedia

Below the gutter of the old pipe, above you can see the top-up, which had to hold all the water from the Eifel.
