A macadam path winds above Podtabor at the foot of the wall. This leads through a 72-meter-long tunnel carved into the living rock all the way to Šilentabor and Ratečev Brdo. Some also call it the Mussolini Tunnel, as it was built by the Italians during the war to connect important military facilities and points. From here there is the most beautiful view of the wall, which at its highest point measures 70 meters. In the wall, in the natural hole, there is the already mentioned castle, and the other holes and cavities are the nesting grounds of crows.
