The Teliu – Întorsura Buzăului railway tunnel, considered the longest tunnel built on Romanian territory, will be transformed into a tourist attraction.
The Întorsura Buzăului City Hall plans to set up a “horror tunnel” and include it in the tourist circuit as part of a broader project through which local authorities hope to attract more visitors to the area.
The town’s mayor, Raul Urda, stated that the idea of creating such a tourist attraction is based on a decades-old legend, according to which the tunnel is haunted by the spirit of the engineer who designed it, who reportedly died on inauguration day after being electrocuted.
