Grünewald Tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

The 126-meter-long, super-great tunnel offers a nice way to cool off in the summer. It is well lit throughout and in the evenings and at night, with a bit of luck, you can even see bats.

Actually there should just be something more
than 50 km. And I was supposed to take the train from Wittlich HB to Cochem and have my better half pick me up there. I rescheduled because it was still early in the afternoon. Then I drove home
