Tips
During World War I, a man-height crooked tunnel was dug into the flank of the Heitersberg. The entrance is elevated above the forest path on a small ledge in the slope. You have to bend down briefly to get inside, but you can then stand upright almost the entire time. The tunnel has several small kinks, so daylight doesn't get in very far. There are no holes or obstacles anywhere on the bottom, if you feel like it you can do a little "test of courage" and go through without a light... the exit (also lower than the rest of the cave) is directly in a very steep slope. It used to be accessible via a small trail, but is now practically inaccessible.
