“A tunnel replacing a bridge?” you might wonder, perplexed. Yes, you heard right! We’re standing before the Herrentunnel, an unassuming yet vital piece of Lübeck’s infrastructure. This 780-meter long marvel, burrowed beneath the Trave River, officially opened on August 26, 2005, taking over the duties of the aging Herrenbrücke bridge. While it efficiently serves as a part of Bundesstrasse 75, connecting Lübeck to Travemünde, the change wasn’t welcomed by all. Cyclists, who once enjoyed access over the bridge, found themselves barred from this subterranean shortcut. Their only options? A lengthy detour or a free shuttle bus ride – a less appealing solution, especially with potential wait times. This, my friends, makes the Herrentunnel Germany’s second toll tunnel. This fact alone makes it quite unique!
