"A little piece of history hidden in a lost Rhineland village. Taking a short, well-signposted detour through the village, you can easily reach the Roman aqueduct, where you can see a sign detailing its history. You can see it from below, and there are also stairs leading up to the top for a rear view. Seeing everything in detail will take about 15 minutes at most."
