The "Dwarf Tunnel" was built between 1898 and 1901 (when the Soltau-Buchholz railway line opened), making it presumably the oldest structure in the Buchholz town. It is a small passage between the Erixx stops Holm-Seppensen and Büsenbachtal and is used by pedestrians as a quick connection from one side of the tracks to the other. It is best crossed by bending over and wearing rubber boots after heavy rain.

The tunnel was originally intended to carry meltwater from the Lohberg mountains, preventing the railway embankment from being eroded. More details at frali.net/nordheide/?Holm-Seppensen___Zwergentunnel
