Wilhelmsblick tunnel
The Wilhelmsblick tunnel , also Wilhelm tunnel , is a passable tunnel for hikers in the area of the city of Thale in the Harz Mountains in Saxony-Anhalt .
The tunnel is located immediately west of the Treseburg with Wienrode connecting state road 93, about one kilometer north of Treseburg. Through the tunnel, hikers can get from the country road to the western side of a ridge, from where an ascent to the Wilhelmsblick on the ridge above the tunnel is possible. The tunnel is part of a hiking trail from Treseburg to Todtenrode in the north . On both sides of the tunnel the Bode runs in the valley , the course of which describes an arc here.
The 22 meter long tunnel was built in 1861. It was created in connection with road construction work for the country road. The name goes back to the road builder Wilhelm , who also had the tunnel built in order to enable access to the lookout point.
At the western entrance to the tunnel there is a plaque with a verse that has been there since at least 1906. The verse is:
Wanderer keep the steps if you want to please your heart and mind.
Easily climb mountain heights where showers blow from the past.
And long ago, towers and battlements were still long gone.
But now your eye rests on the mountain stream's wild tide.
And you only feel air - but horror when you dare to look down.
Enter this cave.
