Römerkanal, Archaeological site near Mechernich, Germany
The Römerkanal features stone archways and concrete structures that formed part of an ancient Roman water transportation system near Vollem.
Engineers of the Roman Empire constructed this aqueduct during the first century AD to carry water from Eifel springs to Cologne.
The site contains multiple sections of preserved Roman infrastructure that demonstrate the engineering capabilities of ancient Mediterranean civilizations in Northern Europe.
Visitors can access information boards along the walking trail that explain the technical aspects of Roman water management systems.
The aqueduct transported 20 million liters of water daily through a gravity-based system that maintained a consistent slope over 116 kilometers.
