The so-called Roman Stones are the structural remains of a former Roman aqueduct that once crossed the Zahlbach Valley. Only the cast walls of a few pillars remain of this once impressive structure. The aqueduct was part of an approximately 5-kilometer-long aqueduct that ran from the source area around Finthen, initially underground, then as an aqueduct to the camp on the Kästrich. To overcome the elevation difference in the Zahlbach Valley, the pillars (Roman stones) had to be erected over 25 meters high. The Roman aqueduct was built between 70 and 80 AD. 🚴♂️
