Vollem lies in the valley of the Veybach , which flows through the village, and on the county road 32, which runs through the valley. The next motorway junction is Bad Münstereifel / Mechernich on the A 1 .
history
Even the Romans built the Eifel aqueduct through the Veybach valley to supply water to ancient Cologne . A Roman aqueduct bridge can be visited in the southwest of the town . The small bridge was built to cross the Kallmuther Bach. It was exposed in 2008 and provided with a protective roof.
There is an old watermill in full. It was built around 1730 as a ban mill for the places Urfey, Vollem, Kallmuth, Lorbach and Keldenich. It is still fully functional today.
