If the buildings you're referring to are the ones in ruins I think they are parts of an old fort. As for the tunnels, the longest one is about a kilometre in length and cuts deep into the mountain; it's pitch black in there, wet and slippery and you have to be wary of cyclists and other bikes either coming the other way or stopping in the middle (God knows what for?)
Half way up the trail to Mount Jaferau we came across a police 4x4 who were checking papers etc. They were very polite and helpful, warning us not to stay at the summit too long as bad weather was moving in. They even provided us with some maps and directions for other trails in the area.
Just a word of warning if anyone is thinking of doing the trails in this area; they are closed on Wednesdays and Saturdays and you absolutely must carry your bike log book, insurance certificate and your driving licence with you. If you don't it's a 38 Euro fine
