Ein archäologischer Wanderführer (An Archaeological Hiking Guide)Description
Der Römerkanal-Wanderweg published in cooperation with the Rhineland Regional Association - Rhineland Office for the Preservation of Archaeological Monuments. The Canal Hiking Trail begins near Nettersheim at the "Grüner Pütz" spring and follows the approximately 100-kilometre-long Eifel water pipeline to Cologne, making it one of the largest Roman constructions on this side of the Alps. It supplied Cologne, the provincial capital of Lower Germania, with fresh water from the end of the 1st to the 3rd century AD. The name "Grüner Pütz" comes from the Latin word "puteus" for water accumulation or puddle.Collection
