Hiking trail on the railway embankment of the old Werra railway from Oberlauter to Teifenlauter. The route was already laid out on two tracks, implemented on one track, operated until 1945, then decommissioned, dismantled and partially overbuilt. Recommissioning fails due to the development. At least the hiking trail in this section is a highlight.

The path to this old tunnel is quite inconspicuous. After the tunnel, along the path on the left, you reach the hiking trail.

oh Doro Fee, every tunnel has two directions in which you can go, so a "left" is of no use to anyone, and the railway is also accessible via dozens of entrances.
