At the pass (628 meters above sea level) there's a shelter, a tourist shelter, and a campfire spot. Three hiking trails intersect here: blue, black, and yellow.

A huge system of concrete corridors, fortifications and halls. The purpose of the works was kept secret. According to some, it was supposed to be Adolf Hitler's secret headquarters. Others claim that halls were built for underground armament factories to produce secret weapons. The complex is currently open to the public. On free weekends, you can meet crowds of people there. Tickets can be purchased in the parking lot, 300 meters south of the entrance and 500 meters from the exit.
