The main distribution area of the Jupiter columns is the Germania Inferior with the largest find concentration in the urban area of Cologne. Only about 10% of the remains found came from sanctuaries. Many, however, belonged to villae rusticae, whereby there could also be more than one column on the site of a villa.

From here we used to be able to ride our racing bikes straight ahead and at ground level via Steinstrass to Elsdorf. Today it goes uphill over the Sophienhöhe to Elsdorf. At least one gravel bike is needed. The descents are slippery gravel paths when it is dry for a long time, which are not really fun. Better to drive after a rainy day, because there is enough grip.
