In my first attempt I went for a wooden structure. It did not look bad at first and I seemed to have a pretty good plan on how to turn it into something interesting.
Unfortunately the walls made of planks did not take the winter very well. It was mostly my fault and I know I could have done a better job building the tunnel. But it still proved wood might not have been the best choice for creating a hill.
So I tore it down and decided to try something more ambitious. My choice this time were lighweight concrete blocks. With absolutely no bricklaying experience it was a challenge and my first prototype fell apart immediately. But on the second try I've actually managed to build something.
Once I added a roof the simple rectangular structure became a tunnel. And it felt like a solid one!
It's of course far, far from being what I really want to achieve. But it seems like a reasonable start. With some reshaping and some extra elements like:
- a tunnel entrance
- an artifcial grass
- rocks covered sides
- a chapel building on top
- etc.
