Großes Schlitzohr Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

Through the 'Große Schlitzohr'

Highlight • Structure

A truly amazing experience for young and old. Turn on the lights – even though the tunnel is lit.
And in hot weather, it's like riding through a "refrigerator."

Very nice bike path, the one on the edge of the forest. It can be driven very well and comfortably, is very varied due to the route and the changing landscape and is just plain fun!
