Until 2000, the Tanneberger Loch was a well-known accident blackspot in Germany. Up to 95,000 cars pass over this section of the A4 motorway every day. In the last ten years, nature has reclaimed what was once levelled and concreted over by human hands. The first small trees are already growing again on the former wide motorway strip, which is lined with trees to the left and right. Small pools of water repeatedly cover the path that leads up to the new route of the A4 motorway. And apart from a hiking sign indicating the former route, there is no sign of the former motorway.
