History of the construction (Crest tunnel under the Brenner Pass) The Italian engineer Giovanni Qualizza had the idea of building a summit tunnel under the Brenner Pass as early as 1847. However, it would be 160 years before a base tunnel was built. In 1971, the idea of a Brenner tunnel was raised again. The International Railway Union commissioned a study on the new Brenner railway with a base tunnel for the first time. By 1989, three feasibility studies had been drawn up, which formed the basis for further planning of the Brenner Base Tunnel. This was the starting signal for the planning activities. In 1994, the EU included the Berlin-Naples corridor as a priority project in the list of priority projects. Ten years later, Austria and Italy signed the state treaty for the construction of the Brenner Base Tunnel. Today's BBT SE was founded in the same year. Construction work on the exploratory tunnel began in 2008. 08/20/2007 - Start of construction of the Mauls access tunnel (Italy): 1.8 km, 9.3% gradient, 92 m² excavation cross-section, blast drive 04/28/2008 - Start of mechanical advance of the Aicha exploratory tunnel (Italy): 10.5 km, double shield machine (6.3 m diameter) 10/23/2009 - Completion of the Mauls access tunnel (Italy) 12/04/2009 - Start of construction work in Austria: Sillschlucht exploratory tunnel: 5.4 km, cross-section 26m², blast drive Text / Source: Galleria di Base del Brennero - Brenner Base Tunnel BBT SE https://www.bbt-se.com/tunnel/geschichte-des-baus/

The climb to the Blaserhütte was long but doable. From the Blaserhütte, the descent into the valley was more like constantly guiding the bike with the brakes on. For me, the loose ground and the countless bends made riding impossible. But with perseverance and a few scratches, I finally arrived in the long valley.

The asphalted meadow path leads between Steinach am Brenner and Trins along the Gschnitzbach. It is easy to ride. There is a forest path on the other side of the stream.

Schneeberg Castle was first mentioned in documents in 1297. Parts of the defensive wall and the striking round tower still exist from this period. In 1571, the medieval complex was converted into a Renaissance castle. A devastating fire destroyed it in 1771, and the ruins were then converted into a castle-like residence. Today it is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside.
