Station 48 of the Römerkanal hiking trail has little to do with the Romans. The focus here is on the view of Cologne. You overlook the Rheineben with the skyline of Cologne from the cathedral over the Colonius to the Rheinenergie Stadium.

Station and information board no. 48 of the Roman Canal WW. In winter you have a view of Cologne. The circular route here is very beautiful, somewhat mystical.

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