The Untertor in Eichen is a historic town gate that was part of the town's medieval fortifications. It was built in 1682 and served as a kind of "lower gate" alongside a no longer existing Obertor. The Untertor still shapes the village character of Eichen and is an important part of the town's history.

Shortly after, on the left-hand side, is the former municipal weigh station.
