Blatenský vodní příkop
Blatenský vodní příkop, Historical water canal in Krušné Mountains, Czech Republic
The Blatenský vodní příkop extends for 12 kilometers through the mountainous landscape, connecting Božídarské peat bog to the town of Horní Blatná.
Engineer Stephan Lenk constructed this water conduit between 1540 and 1544 to supply water energy for tin mining operations in the surrounding districts.
The canal received national cultural monument status in 1980, reflecting its importance in Czech industrial engineering and regional development.
Visitors can explore the 11.5-kilometer interpretation trail with 23 information panels, starting 1.5 kilometers west of Boží Dar.
The canal maintains a precise gradient of one meter drop per 100 meters throughout its length, demonstrating advanced 16th-century engineering techniques.
