The railway line Osterode Kreiensen, better known as Osterode Kreiensen circular course, was a 33 km long, non-electrified narrow gauge branch line with 750 mm, sometimes also 1435 mm gauge, which linked the city Osterode am Harz with the railway node Kreiensen in the valley of the leash and 2010 was completely developed for rail traffic. In the section Osterode-Förste she also wore the name "Sösetalbahn", in the section Westerhof-Kreiensen "Auertalbahn".

Hiking

If you want to find the entrance to the tunnel, you have to climb a small embankment from the path to get to the former track bed, as this is higher than the path.

Cycling

The path to the west portal is becoming increasingly overgrown; in October 2023 you could still get through on foot - if you find the right entrance.
