Some mountain halls and dark fortresses have a staircase down at the bottom level, leading to a narrow hallway to another (possibly multi-level) single staircase down to a (walls/floor not smoothed except immediately around the staircase) 7-wide tunnel leading ultimately to another site. Hostile creatures can be found in these tunnels near sites or chasm crossings, and they vary in Z-level, with ramps up or down across the full width of the tunnel ([[orthogonal]]/diagonal transitions near z-level transitions sometimes cause slightly narrower ramps). There are bridges over chasms; these are 5 wide made of floors (Phyllite block even though the surrounding stone was Gabbro) and constructed walls at each side and a 3-tile approach at each end. The one I observed was open to a small cave in the side of the chasm which was, presumably, the source of the [[antman|antmen]] and [[ratman|ratmen]] the tunnel was infested with. The route of the tunnel seemed much more circuitous than it should be to connect between the two sites in question. You cannot Travel while in a tunnel. <!-- too long for here; may be useful in a split-out article - Traversing the tunnel (between two sites ___ map tiles apart), my adventurer became thirsty four times / dehydrated (ran out of water, so had to wait for it to let me drink disgusting things) once, hungry twice, drowsy twice. I ate when hungry, drank when thirsty, slept when drowsy. -->

[SHOW_EMBARK_TUNNEL:ALWAYS] has to be set in [[init.txt]] for tunnels to be visible on the local map, as pictured at right.  They will usually curve around other underground features (chasms, rivers, etc.), except when this is not possible through a given local section, in which case they will cross the other feature(s) via a bridge.
