Map with all coordinates: The Dorrenberg Tunnel , also known as the Tanztunnel , is a 175 meter long railway tunnel in Wuppertal . It is located on the Düsseldorf-Derendorf-Dortmund Süd railway line, which was opened in 1879 and has since been closed ("Wuppertaler Nordbahn") between Mirker Bahnhof and Ottenbrucher Bahnhof . It is located in the Dorrenberg area and is one of seven tunnels on the section between Mettmann and Gevelsberg West station .
The tracks have been completely dismantled, instead the Nordbahntrasse , a combined cycle and pedestrian path created by the Wuppertal Movement , leads through the tunnel.
