Pioniertunnel

An approximately ten meter long rock breakthrough on the pioneer path. There is no way around it. In the truest sense of the word "We have to go through" :-)

Hats off to the pioneers, the way is fantastic and the tunnel an absolute highlight in the Harz

The pioneering tunnel is a tunnel that can be passed by hikers. The tunnel is located in the course of the Pionierweg, a hiking path that was also called Magdeburger Stieg in the past, above the Selketal between Alexisbad and Mägdesprung. The pioneer cliff is not far from the tunnel. The pioneer tunnel was cut through the rock from May 14 to 19, 1900 as part of an exercise by the 2nd company of the Magdeburg Pioneer Battalion No. 4. The tunnel was partly excavated in a mining manner.

Here you have to go through 😁

Pioneer path with pioneer cliff and pioneer tunnel. Wonderful part of this great path.

Easy pleasant route suitable for children

Larger people would have to move their heads a bit, but otherwise it's 👍🤠

Charming, rustic path with wonderful views. Even our 16-year-old dachshund mix has mastered him.

You can take the Pioniersweg from the Köthener Hütte to Alexisbad. This path is recommended because it is very beautiful and always "forcing" to stop. Protruding rocks and again and again the view of the valley, and if you're lucky you can hear and see the narrow-gauge railway "put you in" other worlds. "The peace was very relaxing.

Without question the most interesting and beautiful section of the pioneer path.

At the exit of the tunnel in the direction of Alexisbad, the lovingly designed wooden struts catch their eye, as they used to be in mining tunnels.

Madness what people create hands in such a short time.

A nice hiking trail, on which one comes to the Pioneer Cliff and the Pioneer Tunnel.

This is a nice adventure path.

Beautiful path with views of the valley - be careful not to trip

historic tunnel at the Selketal-Stieg

One of the most interesting and beautiful sections of the Pioneer Trail 🦊🙏

Please move your head :)

Sure-footed footwear required. A very nice area. An excursion is definitely worth it.

Exciting! Great way to go to Alexisbad.

it pays to work through the rock

It's a quaint way!
