    Nice reference to the so-called Balkan Tunnel.

    Simply a cool experience. Riding through the tunnel is fun. Be careful – despite the lighting, you might not see cyclists or pedestrians without lights until late. Pro tip: Bring a jacket, it's chilly in the tunnel :-).
    The tunnel is also usually closed between October and April for nature conservation reasons (hibernating bats).
