Grüner Pütz, Archaeological site in Nettersheim, Germany
The Grüner Pütz contains a spring catchment system with an 80-meter-long seepage water pipeline that collected water at the base of the valley slope.
The site marks the starting point of a 95-kilometer Roman aqueduct constructed in the 1st century to supply water to ancient Cologne.
Mining official C.A. Eick conducted archaeological investigations in the mid-19th century to confirm Grüner Pütz as the furthest point of the Eifel aqueduct.
Visitors can park at the former Gronrechtsmühle mill and access the site through marked hiking trails, including the Roman Canal path.
The reconstructed spring chamber features a modern opening on the valley side that allows visitors to observe the ancient water collection system.
