Tips
The “eye of the needle” was once the narrowest point in the Rabenauer Grund. The valley behind was once only accessible via this short mountain tunnel.

"The hiking trail led through this curved rock tunnel from 1834 to 1897. After the flood in 1897, a piece of the rock was blasted off and the path was laid outside.
The painter Ludwig Richter used it as a motif for his painting 'Genoveva'. "de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genoveva_von_Brabanttranslated by•May 25, 2020
