The train line from Trooz to Poulseur was here in the past. The line passed through this hill. The train line has been moved many years ago. Now the TasteVin winery is in the tunnel with its shop.

"You will find the country's only neighborhood railway tunnel on standard gauge, on the old Trooz-Poulseur line. This unique place with the somewhat lavish but beautifully decorated tunnel portals can be found just past the station, towards Verviers, where the steam tram straight through a rock wall avoided the sharp turn to Banneux and Louveigné. However, this neighborhood line, one of the few on standard gauge, was not a great success. The line section Trooz-Sprimont was already closed in 1937 and the rails were broken up not long afterwards."
