At the end of the first decade of the 20th century, the railway tunnel was driven 560 meters through the mountain. 80 years later, it was converted into a cycle path. The tunnel contains several niches with rounded arches, through which the water seeping in above is drained. The sound of this water has been a part of this place for almost 100 years.

Unfortunately, this morning I saw again that some people simply dispose of their rubbish, including mouth and nose masks, in the tunnel. Firstly, I find that disgusting and secondly disrespectful to the nature of our beautiful Volcanic Eifel.
But disposing of rubbish in nature is apparently still in fashion... :(
