The ditch from the route of the Roman Canal is still clearly visible at this point, but nothing of the structure can be seen anymore. In my opinion, there are better prepared stations along the Roman Canal hiking trail.

The following hiking guide can be recommended as accompanying literature on this route:
"The Roman Canal Hiking Trail. How water learned to walk"
by Klaus Grewe and Manfred Knauff,
publisher Eifelverein eV (ISBN 978-3-944620-27-5).
"120 km in 7 stages on the route of the Roman aqueduct from Nettersheim to Cologne. This hiking guide is indispensable for a proper insight into the technology of ancient aqueduct construction and the variety of scenic and cultural treasures to the left and right of the Roman Canal Hiking Trail."
