Titterten Tunnel above Erschwil, canton of Solothurn, Switzerland

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This short tunnel in the municipality of Erschwil (Jura mountain range in the Swiss canton of Solothurn, an area called "Schwarzbubenland") was constructed around 1960 to facilitate transport of timber from the forests in the mountainous area. Previously, the timber was transported down a steep hillside to the Passwang road. In this image, nearly the entire length of the tunnel from the north towards the south portal is shown. The name of the tunnel is not connected to the village of Titterten in the canton of Basel-Landschaft (which is in the same region), but derives from the name of the rock wall through which it runs.
Deutsch: Dieser kurze Tunnel in der Gemeinde Erschwil (im Schwarzbubenland, Solothurner Jura) entstand um 1960, um den Abtransport von Holz in der bergigen Gegend zu erleichtern. Vorher wurde das Holz einen steilen Abhang zur Passwangstrasse hinunter transportiert. Dieses Bild zeigt nahezu die ganze Länge des Tunnels vom Nordportal zum Südportal. Der Name des Tunnels steht in keinem Zusammenhang mit dem Dorf Titterten im Kanton Basel-Landschaft (das in der gleichen Gegend liegt), sondern stammt vom Namen des Felsbands, durch welches der Tunnel führt.
