    The tunnel used to have two tracks. There is a lot of space, but we recommend checking the timetable so that you don't have to encounter a train in the tunnel, which isn't so nice for the train driver either.

      Above the tunnel are the Itelklippen.
      From here you can enjoy a wonderful view of the western South Harz at any time of year.

        The path to the tunnel portal is even signposted as a hiking trail.
