    Heart of the water pipe to the castle was the Tiergartentunnel.
    Since tunneling in the Middle Ages was more of a rare construction technique, the Blankenheim Tunnel with its five construction shafts is a technically historic outstanding building. From its southern mouth you can look into the bricked tunnel.
