Rock breakthrough / tunnel from WWII. On the right side of the river, a path went up to the rock. Nice view, but be careful: there are no more railings!

The unlit tunnel leads through the rocky spur from the Buchstein Mill with its carbide works into the gorge. It is part of the hiking trail along the Wolfsteiner Ohe River from Ringelai to Freyung and part of the Via Nova pilgrimage route. On the south side, near the parking lot, there is a stamp station for the pilgrimage route (next to the hiking map).
On the rocky spur above the tunnel, there are castle ruins. These can only be reached by experienced mountaineers.
A flashlight is useful for the tunnel, but not absolutely necessary.
There is a small hiking parking area near the carbide works. On the other side, there is a lovely bench on the steep cliff with an information board about the (Bavarian) Pfahl (Bavarian Pile). This is partly responsible for the formation of this gorge.
The Pfahl (Bavarian Pile) is a 150 km long quartz vein that runs through the northeastern Bavarian Forest. Geomorphologically, it represents a hard rock formation that was carved out by weathering and erosion over millions of years. More information here: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfahl_(Bayerischer_Wald)

An adventurous stretch of hiking trail!
