Galgenbrücke Tunnel Entrance

Highlight • Structure

The entrance to the tunnel was open when we were there. This allowed me to at least get a small glimpse into the underground tunnel. But you can't go further than a few meters because the entire tunnel is flooded.

After a delicious Sunday lunch at the "Fürstenbrunn Charcoal Burners' Hut," we took a short walk to help us digest our meal.

First, of course, we had to visit the Prince's Abduction monument, which was right around the corner. The charcoal burners had managed to free the kidnapped Prince Albrecht somewhere around here.
