Every once in a while i seek out London's two seemingly near totally unique underwater pedestrian tunnels - the Foot Tunnel to Greenwich and a similar one to Woolwich.

I find these two dark and dingy tunnels so mysterious. And i think are there any more pedestrian tunnels under rivers, etc. besides the two in London in Europe?

I can only think of one other - in Antwerp - a few miles south of the town center - a tunnel just for bikers and pedestrains that parallels are busy highway tunnel.

I know between Germany and France there is a new long pedestrian bridge over the Rhine

But are there any other underwater pedestrian tunnels in Europe besides the two in London and the one in Antwerp?

thanks

There's one under the Tyne, I think; and there used to be one under the Clyde.

There might be one in Prague

thanks sheila - i've have to investigate the tyne and clyde ones.

I was thinking that maybe Rotterdam has one too.

There is one in Berlin's Eastern borough of Friedrichshagen under the Spree river.
It had been build in 1926/27 to connect a tram line with the opposite shore of Lake Müggel, which had been (and still is) a popular area for a swim or picnic.
Its length cannot really compete with the ones in London, though: just 120 meters.

Here are a couple of pictures:

Cowboy - thanks a lot - Berlin is a regular and fascinating stop for me.

I will track this tunnel down - the tram aspect makes it all the better.

thanks

Here's some info about Glasgow's Harbour Tunnel. The second link lets you see the Rotunda in the background.

Looks like the Thames Tunnel was used by pedestrian back in the Victorian era.

PQ--
Take S3 east to Friedrichshagen, then 3 stops south with tram 60 or 61. 5 minutes walk from there.
The tunnel is by far not as famous as the ones in London, so you should look it up on a map first, since not that many locals will know it.

Under the Tyne you have the Tyne Pedestrian Tunnel and Tyne Cycle Tunnel
