    Hiking

    Excerpt of text passages from the information board:
    By August 1940, German engineer units had built an emergency bridge that carried the rail track over the Warchetal on two wooden scaffoldings. In 1941/1942 work began on building the passage tunnel that exists today and piling up the dam to give it the shape it has today. The masses of earth to fill up the dam were obtained from the surrounding fields. The traces of this dredging are still visible in the terrain today. The wooden scaffolding remained in the dam, but the iron girders with the rail track were removed.
