At this point, the exposure of the Römernanal, which leads from the source at the "Grüner Pütz" over 95 kilometers to Cologne, allows a good insight into the construction of this early engineering masterpiece. Over a period of almost 200 years, 20,000 cubic meters of water could be transported every day.

The approximately 100 km long Roman Canal from Nettersheim to Cologne is an engineering masterpiece that is almost two thousand years old.
The 116 km long Roman Canal hiking trail follows the water flow of yesteryear along the relics of the Roman Canal on a total of 7 stages.
This exposure is the 6th of a total of over 50 stations that accompany the Roman Canal hiking trail.
