Former railway tunnel of the Vennbahn, which has been turned into a bat adventure path on the Luxembourg side.

When the Vennbahn cycle path was under construction, bats were discovered in the tunnel near Huldange. At least 13 different species of bat have settled there since railway operations were discontinued, including some rare species unknown in Luxembourg to date. Consequently, the tunnel and the surroundings were designated as a protected area and a bypass for cyclists was put in place.
