This is a few meters back from the starting point for a sewer found underneath Cologne in the medieval ages. The tunnel was viewed as a mysterious and scary place, and was eventually left entirely alone until the nineteenth century. After the tunnel was again excavated, it was eventually opened to the public as an exhibit. The excavated and public portion begins underneath the Cologne City Hall (Köln Stadthalle) and ends underneath a private residence, serving only as an emergency exit. The sealed sections of the tunnel stretches all across Cologne and underneath the Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom).

Ancient roman aquaduct over the river Gardon. Roughly 2000 years old, this is sophisticated Roman engineering at its very best, taking water from the source of the Eure through hilly and semi-mountainous country to Nîmes: a distance of 35km with an overall "drop" of only 12m. Incredible!. - labelled Pont du Gard, Remoulins
