God tunnel
The God Tunnel is the lowest spiral tunnel of the Albula Railway on the Bergün - Preda section in the canton of Graubünden ( Switzerland ). It has a length of 487 meters. The God tunnel and the Plaz tunnel that follows shortly thereafter make it possible to take advantage of the slope of the Val Tisch and thus gain the railway line additional meters in altitude in a detour, without which an adhesion railway would not be possible. The route with God and Plaz tunnels also means that Bergün can be viewed three times from the route through the two 180 ° bends.
