Schwarzenberg Canal, Historic canal in Ulrichsberg, Austria
The Schwarzenberg Canal stretches over 50 kilometers through dense forests, connecting the Světlá River to the Große Mühl River in Austria.
Engineer Josef Rosenauer designed this transportation system in 1789 to move firewood from the Bohemian Forest to Vienna through an intricate water network.
The canal represents an engineering achievement of the 18th century, demonstrating advanced technical solutions for wood transportation across continental divides.
Visitors can explore the canal system from May to November through dedicated walking paths and bicycle routes that follow the historic waterway.
The canal system overcomes a 790-meter elevation difference between the Danube and Vltava rivers through precise engineering calculations.
