The Ammer Canal crosses the railway line directly in front of the north portal (actually northeast portal) . The section from Tübingen to Pfäffingen was opened on May 1, 1910. The route is to be electrified as part of the planned Neckar-Alb regional light rail.

An approximately 250 meter long straight tunnel (width 5 meters, clear height 3.2 meters) for pedestrians and cyclists leads through the Tübingen Schlossberg, which connects the Neckarhalde at the Alleenbrücke with the square in front of the Haagtor . It was opened to traffic on December 19, 1974 after a construction period of 21 months; the cost was 4.4 million marks (60% borne by the federal government and 25% by the state). Until the completion of the B 296 tunnel, motor vehicle traffic also drove there in a single lane in a north-south direction. At the beginning of June 2007 the tunnel was also closed to mopeds and scooters .
Since 2003, the Rock im Tunnel event has been held there once a year in May or June .

The road tunnel of the B 296 is about 290 meters long and consists of two parallel tubes separated by a central pillar made of reinforced concrete, each with a two-lane carriageway. It was opened to traffic on July 20, 1979 after six and a half years of construction at a cost of 70 million marks. It is part of the southern bypass of the city center. The construction was primarily intended to relieve the Mühlstrasse as the only north-south connection in the inner city of Tübingen, as this road between Schlossberg and Österberg cannot be expanded. In March and April 2005, the tunnel was equipped with emergency telephones, escape route lighting, fire alarm systems and heating cables to prevent ice formation for a quarter of a million euros from federal funds. From March 2013 to October 2014, the tunnel and the connecting bridges were refurbished from federal funds for 6.2 million euros.
