Super views, very quiet hiking trail with no traffic noise. Before the forest ends, some large fallen trees are a hindrance, there you have to climb over or under. About 250 m must be walked on the road before the Elberadweg is reached.

The monument commemorates the former Oberau Tunnel on the Leipzig–Dresden railway line. This tunnel, bored by Freiberg miners between 1837 and 1839, is considered the second railway tunnel in Germany and the first mainland railway tunnel.
