There's a large entrance:
I didn't go inside. The tunnel looked as though it didn't go far, but there's another, smaller blocked-up entrance further along the trail, so it may be longer than it looked:

Exact location?
Hi David, do we have coordinates on this one or could you describe how to get there?
From the marker it appears to be near a contour hiking trail.
It is on the trail shown on
It is on the trail shown on the Thunderforest map layer, near where the path turns around a ridge:

It was clearly visible from the trail, so no need to go into the bushes.
Happy exploring, and please let us know what you discover.
Thank you
I will explore soon, hiking season is just aroundt he corner! Very much appreciate the clear location description as I couldn't see anything on the old Aerials.
I visited them!
Both tunnel entrances are right on the hiking trail about 25m apart. One is completely collapsed and the other one easily accessible. It's a very short tunnel though, curving slightly to the left and stopping rather abruptly after 4 to 5m only. They were also not connected, rather unusual.
Thanks for letting us know
Thanks for letting us know what you found.
It is odd they aren't connected. I wonder if that was the plan, or if they were still being dug when the war ended?
