Photo: The Alb valley between Albbruck and Görwihl is so narrow that the road runs through a total of five rock tunnels (this section of the road has been closed since 2015(!) due to the danger of rockfalls. The rehabilitation and securing of the rock slopes began in October 2025 and is scheduled for completion in winter 2026/27).
