Definitely worth seeing. There are several branches in the tunnel, almost like a labyrinth. We were definitely busy exploring everything for half an hour.

It's really very interesting. We were about half an hour in the tunnel. The tunnel is often branched out like a labyrinth and is also great fun for children.

The rock cellars in Egloffstein consist of a widely branched tunnel system. The cellars are dug into a sandstone layer under the Jura rock.
Since 1728, these sand basements were operated by the rule for the extraction of sandstone blocks and cleaning sand.
After about 100 years this was discontinued and parceled out to Egloffsteiner homeowners as storage rooms.

A tunnel is open and can be entered. Take a flashlight!
