Learn all about Luxembourg's longest railway tunnel and its bats on the discovery trail near Huldange! The bat mascot Batti will join you along the way past information boards, audio stations and interactive info stations. The path is located on both sides of the tunnel and consists of two identical parts which can be reached from either the Luxembourg or the Belgian side. In order not to disturb the sensitive bats, the tunnel is inaccessible to visitors.
