This is a little hidden gem. After you have gone a seen the two Ruine Fragenstein come back down but continue to this tunnel. It takes you under the Ruine Fragenstein to a wide path that is high up in the Schlossbach gorge with spectacular views. You can either turn round here (but you miss the second tunnel and span bridge) or do a circular walk.

This is the second tunnel along then high path that starts by going through a tunnel under the Ruine Fragenstein. The tunnel is longer than the first and you can not see the exit from one end. Note the concrete structures at both ends to protect the walker from landslides. Once you go through the tunnel you come out next to a bridge that spans the Sclossbach gorge. To complete the circular walk you must go over.

Beautiful tunnel that offers a great opportunity to get a little cooler in the summer.
