It stretches from Cvetkova Pijaca on the west to Mali Mokri Lug on the southeast, bordering neighborhoods of Učiteljsko Naselje and Konjarnik on the south.
During the Ottoman period, it was known as the Ekmekluk (modern Zvezdara) fork, belonging to the Mali Mokri Lug village area.
The Dahije renegades used this tunnel to infiltrate the fortress in 1801, and to overthrow and kill Belgrade's vizier Hadji Mustafa Pasha.
During the First Serbian Uprising, leader of the rebels Karađorđe made a deal with new Belgrade's vizier Suleyman Pasha, guaranteeing the safe retreat to the Ottomans and their families to Bulgaria.
The pasha and his entourage of 180 askeri nizams were killed, while women and children were dispatched to Vidin, Bulgaria, their original destination.
