Lenora wooden bridge

The bridge stretches 27.77 meters in length and 1.8 meters in width, featuring a hip roof supported by three granite pillars over the Teplá Vltava river.

Constructed in 1870, the bridge retained and managed floating timber transportation from the Bohemian Forest to paper mills in Loučovice and Větřní until 1959.

The name Rechle derives from the German word Rechen, meaning rake, reflecting the structure's original function of controlling timber flow through inserted beams.

The bridge underwent extensive renovation in 2014 with European Union funding exceeding three million Czech crowns to maintain its structural integrity.

The Czech National Bank recognized this bridge's engineering significance by featuring it on a commemorative 5000 CZK gold coin issued in 2013.
