Both tunnels are very interesting. But watch out for private property. The short western tunnel (133m, built in 1908) was in operation until the 1960s and was part of the Mücke - Laubach railway line. The longer eastern tunnel, about 200m, was completed but never put into operation. During the Second World War, VDO manufactured Luftwaffentechnik and parts of the V2 in both tunnels. Today there is a commercial mushroom cultivation in both tunnels. It would be nice if the west tunnel becomes part of the new cycle path between Laubach and Freienseen

Attention! The whole area is extremely impassable and littered with numerous dangerous spots. I expressly warn against going there before the site is secured.
