In 1850, Schönberg had the tunnel built. Its length is 238 m. Inside, the corridor divides into two large halls up to 10 m high. The lime kiln for processing the broken stone was on the bank path next to the Triebisch (approx. 50 m to the right). In 1905 the tunnel was kept and secured. In 1940 the tunnel was opened for air raid protection purposes. In 1979, members of the state security service searched for the legendary amber room in the tunnel, without any result. Today it is home to various rare species of bats.
