Goiginger Tunnel

Insanity! Definitely take it with you on the tour to the Hexenstein! Don't forget your head torch and thread, so that you can find out again! 😉 Also great for kiddis!

Tunnel system from World War I, completely unlit.

The Goiginger tunnel is an approx. 500m long Austrian war tunnel from World War I, named after Field Marshal Goiginger. It served to secure access to the upstream position on the Hexenstein and secured access to the Valparola Pass and the Badia Valley. The best way to get there is from the car park behind the Tra i Sassi (museum) barrier. On a narrow path uphill to the shoulder of the witch stone. Don't miss the uphill junctions (we went wrong twice on the lower path). The entrance to the tunnel is only visible very late. It's best to have a helmet and a headlamp with you for the tunnels. There are absolutely dark passages, but from the tunnel windows and loopholes there are always great views of the pass road and the Lagazuoi opposite. In wet weather, a deeper puddle can form in the first part of the cleated sole. The last part of the tunnel is no longer accessible, the exit here leads to the left out of the mountain.
