This is a section of the 95.4 km long Roman aqueduct from Grüner Pütz near Nettersheim to Cologne. The impressive building supplied Roman Cologne with 20 million liters of fresh water every day from around 80/90 AD to around 270/280 AD. You can find the source and further information on the Römerkanalwanderweg here: roemerkanal.de/bauwerk

"The approximately 100 km long Roman canal from Nettersheim to Cologne is an almost two thousand year old engineering masterpiece. The "modernized" 120 km long Roman canal hiking trail follows the water flow of the past along the relics of the Roman canal on a total of 7 stages. Over 50 new information boards have been installed on Roman relics along the trail.

The free pocket guide "Roman canal hiking trail", which you can request, enables good and safe orientation as well as perfect planning of your hike. The route team's restaurants and accommodation establishments tempt you to stop for a break.

The Deutsche Bahn (DB) and Cologne Transport Company (KVB) railway lines run parallel to the hiking trail."
