During the construction of the Hürth bypass road, a 55 m long section of the Roman water pipeline from the Eifel to Cologne, the so-called Roman Canal, was discovered. Since the line had to give way to the road, some sections were salvaged, preserved and exhibited as movable monuments. Unfortunately, the presentation is protected by fences, so even interested people are kept at a distance. The cast masonry construction is quite interesting.
What it is: Part of the historic Roman canal system (Keller/Cologne-Bonn aqueduct), which connected Roman waterways and conduits. Location: In the region around Hürth, near Cologne, possibly sections along the Erft/Frankenbach streams; routes can be seen partly outside, partly as paths or green spaces. Significance: Historical infrastructure from the Roman period, often as an archaeological site or hiking trail with information panels. Current condition: Partially visible as sections of the terrain, paths, or examined in the field; museum/archaeological documentation is available.
