Bernistap Tunnel, Canal tunnel in Houffalize, Belgium.
The Bernistap Tunnel extends 431 meters in length and 3.5 meters in width through the Belgian-Luxembourg border region, featuring stone vaulted construction.
Construction started in 1828 under King William I to connect the Meuse and Moselle river basins, but ceased in 1830 due to Belgian independence.
The tunnel represents early 19th-century engineering methods and stands as a testament to the industrial heritage of the Walloon region.
A marked walking trail follows the former towpath around the tunnel area, though the underground passage itself remains closed to public access.
The structure received recognition as an exceptional heritage property in Wallonia in 2009 and belongs to the European Natura 2000 ecological network.
