Hiking

The special kick of the tour is the crossing of the tunnel, which is 72 m long but only approx. 150 cm high. If you stand in front of the tunnel entrance, you see the other end of the straight tunnels and it appears on bright sunny days as if you could do without a flashlight. In the middle of the tunnel hardly any daylight comes in and even the flashlight is swallowed by the black rock. In larger people, like me, the head was more on the floor than on the bright glow from the tunnel exit.

This tunnel is about 70 m long and supposedly 150 cm high. In some places it is significantly lower in my opinion. You had to duck down a lot.

The tunnel is 72 m long and partly only 1.5 m high. You should have a flashlight with you.
