Because the road now lies in a wooded area on the M\u00fcrel ridge and is not marked by a prominent embankment, its route had been lost for a time.\r\n\r\nThis changed with the aerial laser scan: some of the signals also reached the forest floor, so that after filtering out the trees, a relief of the terrain surface emerged. In this way, a roughly two-kilometer-long section of the Agrippa Road route, running straight south, became visible. Previously, the discovery of a gravel strip, which had been noticed during geological surveys, had already indicated road construction work in the area.\r\n\r\nIn 2009, archaeologists examined the ground and documented remnants of the road, possibly from two parallel routes. The reconstructed width of one section of the road is a considerable 23 meters. Approximately 2.5 kilometers south, in the Olbr\u00fcck Forest near Blankenheim, a section of the road of roughly the same width has been uncovered.","slideshow":[22974,22978],"ontdekken_video_box":{"ontdekken_video_titel":"","ontdekken_video_paragraaf":"","ontdekken_video_iframe":""},"ontdekken_360_box":{"ontdekken_360_titel":"","ontdekken_360_paragraaf":"","ontdekken_360_iframe":""},"doen":null,"weten":[{"vraag":"First photo: the LVR-Amt f\u00fcr Bodendenkmalpflege uncovered the route of the road that ran here in 2009.
