    With a length of 1660 meters, the Drover Berg Tunnel is the longest Roman tunnel structure north of the Alps. Its purpose was in all probability to lead the water of a spring, today called "Heiliger Pütz", across a mountain, the Drover Heide, to the other side to a Roman villa.

      In the Drover Heide you meet several times the remains of this approximately 1660 m long Roman canal. Exciting!

        A Roman aqueduct led from Drove to Soller, across the Drover heath. The water pipe supplied a villa rustica in Soller with spring water. The water pipe itself is not or hardly recognizable for a layman. Its course has been marked by tall, blue-painted wooden posts.
