Pioneer Tunnel (Pioniertunnel)

Highlight • Structure

An approximately ten meter long rock breakthrough on the pioneer path. There's no way around it. In the truest sense of the word "We have to get through this". :-)

Hiked in 2024. Very nice hike over hill and dale. Some ups and downs, beautiful views. With small children, maybe half the route on the western side and back by train. Not suitable for strollers or handcarts.
