Jezernice Viaduct, Railway stone bridge in Jezernice, Czech Republic
The Jezernice Viaduct is a railway bridge made of stone with multiple arches that stretches 426 meters across a valley in Moravia. It rests on solid stone piers and still carries trains on two tracks every day.
Construction started in 1842 as part of the Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railway to bring rail transport through this difficult area. The bridge became an important link for moving goods and passengers across the region.
The structure reflects engineering methods from the 1800s and shows how railway builders crossed difficult terrain with stone and skill. Such bridges shaped the landscape and remain part of how people experience travel through Moravia today.
The bridge can be viewed from nearby roads and paths that run below or near it, giving good views of the full structure from the valley. Walking around the surrounding area offers several spots to see how the arches meet the landscape.
The bridge was recognized as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic in 2007, making it an officially protected historical structure. This status reflects how important such engineering works are to understanding the country's technical past.
