Tips from the Community

Togro
April 20, 2026, Cycle Path Tunnel Under BAB 7

The cycle path tunnel under the A7 near Bornhausen (a district of Seesen) is an interesting piece of infrastructure that plays an important role, especially for cycle tourists and local commuters. The tunnel is part of the cycle path on the former Derneburg–Seesen railway line. After passenger traffic was discontinued in 1990, the route was converted into a comfortable cycle path (opened approx. 2001–2005). The tunnel under the A7 was designed to cross the motorway without cyclists having to overcome steep climbs or dangerous intersections.

The locals call this "hunting lodge" the "railroad car" because the base behind the wooden paneling is an old railway carriage.

The path has recovered surprisingly well. However, it is now so overgrown in parts that it can no longer be described as easy to navigate. It is particularly difficult to get through just before the Neuwallmoden forest exit.
