    Former railway tunnel, 1114 meters long, long since shut down, can be run through without any problems.

      Straight line of old, about 1 km long tunnel. Very interesting. Don't forget your flashlight.
      Great acoustics. My wife sometimes plays bagpipes in the tunnel. Very impressive

        One suspects that there are still many secret passages here. A production workshop owned by A. H. During the war.

          Flashlight really makes sense and you may need to plan that you have to go back through the tunnel as it can lead to considerable detours.

              Nice holdover. If you want to go through, you should take a flashlight and wear sturdy shoes. Oh and you shouldn't be afraid of rats either ^^

                This tunnel has an interesting history. It is an old Reichsbahn tunnel and is said to lead to an underground facility that was operated under National Socialism. The entrance was probably bricked up.

                      The Rabenscheid Tunnel was renamed and converted into a cycle tunnel in 2022. Partly financed by the state and partly by the municipality, this project cost around €730,000.

                      As a result of the conversion, the tunnel is no longer a dark, unlit tunnel with adventure potential, but an illuminated asphalt cycle path.

                      In addition, the tunnel is closed and inaccessible between November and March for nature conservation reasons.

                        Rabenscheider Tunnel becomes a production site during World War II

                        Towards the end of the Second World War, it was one of the most important production sites in the Dill area for the Nazis: the Rabenscheider Tunnel, which housed an underground factory.

                        A head or flashlight is recommended.

                          You torture yourself for half an eternity on gravel and it just doesn't want to end.

                            This time I planned the tour so that it goes through the tunnel.

                                Definitely a highlight on the way, but the way there could be better signposted. I didn't find it.

                                      Nice hiking area. Through the Aubach valley and then on the old railway embankment through the tunnel. Nice that this former Lost Place has been revived. Highly recommended.

                                        The Reichsbahn tunnel has lost a lot of its original "adventure".
                                        Cyclists will be happy that the tunnel has been tarred and provided with lighting -
                                        for me as a hiker, the appeal is gone!

                                                In the approximately 1 km long former railway tunnel between Haiger - Langenaubach and Breitscheid, the city of Haiger now wants to create a 2.5 m wide cycle path. Thus, the tunnel could become a bicycle tunnel.
                                                It would be nice if the Hessentag, which is hopefully taking place, could be finished. For inexperienced cyclists that would be a great relief up there in the area. Likewise, a cycle path connection to the Aubachtal would enable access to the "autumn labyrinth".
