Since November 15, 1974, four tunnels made by North Korea have been found by South Korea running under the Korean Demilitarized Zone aka DMZ (Demilitarized Zone).
This is the third tunnel aka "Third Tunnel of Aggression", discovered on 17 October 1978, and is also an ORGANIZED tourist attraction. You can NOT travel there independently.
On the way by bus to it, photography is prohibited but once you arrive at the site, photography is allowed outside.
The footpath to the tunnel you enter through a metal detector, photography is also prohibited, you walk steeply down which takes a few minutes..
At 73 meters depth is the original tunnel and you can see it through a window in a door.
But now you have to find your way up again, what first seemed so easy turns out to be quite a job. It seems to take hours to get to the top. Fortunately, if you have no fitness, you can also take a small train to the top.
There are 2 pictures on Wikipedia, one of the footpath down and one of the train track.
