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.

A very beautiful stretch of railway line. Between Plein and Wittlich, there are three very well-restored and illuminated tunnels. Very romantic, very nostalgic. The Plein Tunnel, almost 600 meters long.
