Is It A Train Tunnel? 🚂 Or A Bat Tunnel? 🦇 It’s Both.
Tucked away in the Hill Country, this 920-foot-long abandoned train tunnel once carried the Fredericksburg & Northern Railway—now, it’s home to over 3 million bats! 🦇
From May through October, visitors can witness the mass exodus of bats at sunset, an unforgettable sight. 🌅 Want to explore? There’s also a half-mile nature trail with scenic views and steep climbs.
Located just 20 miles from Boerne, it’s a small state park with a BIG history! Don’t forget to stop by Alamo Springs Café next door for one of the best burgers in Texas. 🍔
