Before you go up to the Römerwarte (stairs), there is a short but nice trail straight ahead, partly a bit overgrown and narrow, but definitely rideable. (Aug. 2025) This leads along the quarry down to a farm near the Nette.

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.
