📝 A true experience along the way: The path leads through a disused railway tunnel – cool, shady, and with its own unique acoustics. The walls speak of technology from decades past, while nature and light await outside. An exciting contrast on the tour. 💡 Tip: Pause for a moment before entering – the tunnel has its own unique soundscape.

📝 Between nature and the roadside stands an old railway signal – silent, weathered, but full of history. It's a reminder of the former railway traffic that once characterized this route. A great photo opportunity for anyone who loves technical heritage and quiet places. 💡 Tip: Pay attention to the details – rust, color, and shape tell more than meets the eye.
