Known on the map as "Tunnel des Dourbes". Where Dourbes refers to the Réserve naturelle de Dourbes". On the mountainside that you can climb with some beautiful steps you also have a landmark in the forest "Le tunnel". Here you also have a beautiful view of the railway tunnel.

THE STEAM TRAIN OF THE 3 VALLEYS

Discover the 3 Valleys railway, one of the most beautiful trails in Europe.
Step back in time on an authentic steam train and traverse the 'Three Valleys' with their incredible landscapes. The train departs from Mariembourg, passes through Nismes, Olloy/Viroin and Vierves, before reaching the terminus in Treignes. This is also the last station before the French border

Forbidden to enter but very idyllically located in beautiful nature. Close to the tunnel is also the old railway bridge over the Viroin. The walk we did took us along both sides of the tunnel.
