At the apex of the almost closed Urft loop, the Roman water pipe changes from the left to the right side of the Urft valley. At this point the Urft is now dammed by a weir. Here - probably since the early 18th century - water was available via an attached ditch
branched off to provide hydropower for the Neuwerk iron hammer built in 1710. In terms of location and orientation, this weir is identical to the location of the ancient aqueduct bridge over the Urft. It is quite conceivable that the foundations of the bridge were used when building this weir. Since the weir has been destroyed and rebuilt several times in the meantime, its Roman origins cannot be easily recognized. Sandstone blocks found in the river below the weir probably come from this bridge structure. Source: roemerkanal.de/bauwerk

This is the 4th of a total of over 50 stations that accompany the approx. 116-kilometer-long Roman Canal hiking trail on the way from Nettersheim to Cologne. Here the Roman aqueduct changed from the left to the right side of the Urft valley.
