Unfortunately, the restaurant at the Pyrmont Mill is closed, so you'll have to bring your own picnic. However, you can have a picnic on the lawn opposite the restaurant.

The tunnel was part of the Maifeld Railway, a branch line of the Eifelquerbahn (Eifel Cross Railway), which was closed in the 1980s. Today, the tunnel is integrated into the Maifeld Cycle Path, which runs along former railway lines in the Maifeld region. The tunnel is paved and illuminated, making it attractive for both cyclists and hikers.
