Geocache Description:

This cache will bring you close to Saligny's Tunnel - almost unknown to Constanta visitors or even young locals. The tunnel was designed by Angel Saligny and build between 1896 - 1900. The tunnel si almost 500 meters long, 8.5 meters wide and aprox 6 meters in height.

Initailly named “Carol I Tunnel”, then known as Palas – Port C-ta passage, the railway tunnel functioned as an freight trains access to Constanta harbor for almost a century.

These days the tunnel is no longer in use. It was rehabilitated in 2012, and finally closed for normal visitors. More to read, with plenty of pictures on following link: Visit TheTunnel

Last minute update : There is no way to reach up to the Tunnel these days. But you can reach as far as to the cache location, find the Container I hide and see the top of the Saligny Tunnel - you will be a few meters away of it (the other side of the fence). Congratulations cardealestrela for FTF
