Erdstall, Medieval tunnel system in Rot am See, Germany.
The Erdstall tunnel network consists of narrow passages measuring 1.5 meters in height and features smooth, ovular shapes throughout its underground structure.
The tunnel system dates back to the Middle Ages, with carbon dating of fire pit samples indicating construction between the 10th and 12th centuries.
Researchers from the Working Group for Erdstall Research conduct investigations using 3D surveying techniques to understand the purpose of these underground passages.
The tunnel network maintains a constant temperature throughout the year and requires visitors to crawl through restricted spaces called schlupfs.
The underground passages contain carved stone benches at their terminus, despite the extremely limited space and absence of natural light.
