Volkmarshäuser Tunnel, Railway tunnel in Volkmarshausen, Germany.
The Volkmarshäuser Tunnel stretches 325.5 meters through the landscape near Hann. Münden, featuring neo-Romanesque portals made of sandstone blocks at both entrances.
Constructed between 1852 and 1855 with Italian tunnel engineering experts, the structure operated as part of the Hannöversche Südbahn railway line until its closure in 1995.
The southwestern portal displays King George V's monogram and the Welf horse, while the northeastern entrance bears inscriptions marking construction dates.
The tunnel remains accessible from both sides throughout the year, but visitors need flashlights as the interior lacks artificial lighting systems.
During winter months, the tunnel functions as a hibernation shelter for several bat species, creating a protected natural habitat within its stone walls.
