Underground area Zeitz, Underground tunnel network in Zeitz, Germany
The subterranean complex stretches over 700 meters beneath the old town of Zeitz, featuring corridors and cellars at depths between 6 and 12 meters.
Between the 14th and 16th centuries, local residents carved passages into the soft sandstone beneath Zeitz to create storage spaces for beer production and aging.
The underground passages reflect medieval German brewing traditions, with individual cellars connected to buildings above through a network of tunnels and chambers.
Guided tours lasting 45 minutes require advance reservations, with adult tickets priced at 7 euros and children under 16 paying 4 euros.
The tunnel system served as air raid shelters during World War II, leading to expansion and interconnection of previously separate beer storage cellars.
