Vchynice-Tetov Canal, Historic canal in Srní, Czech Republic

The Vchynice-Tetov Canal spans 14.4 kilometers through the mountains, connecting the Vydra and Křemelná rivers in the Šumava National Park.

The Schwarzenberg family commissioned the construction of the canal between 1799 and 1800, following designs by engineer Josef Rosenauer for timber transportation.

The canal represents a national cultural monument of the Czech Republic, demonstrating traditional methods of timber floating in the Šumava region.

Visitors can access multiple entry points along the canal through marked hiking trails, with several bridges providing convenient crossing points.

The engineering system maintains a constant water level throughout its length, enabling efficient timber transportation from high mountain areas to lower regions.
