Slavíčský tunel, Railway tunnel and cultural monument in Slavíč, Czech Republic.

The Slavíčský tunel extends 258.9 meters in length and 6 meters in height through the landscape of northern Moravia, featuring Empire style architecture at its portals.

Constructed in 1847 as part of the Northern Railway of Emperor Ferdinand, the tunnel served as a bidirectional passage until 1873 when additional tracks were built.

The tunnel received protection status as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, preserving its significance in the nation's transportation development and engineering achievements.

Currently inactive for railway traffic, the structure maintains its historical value while being accessible for visitors interested in Czech railway architecture and engineering.

The tunnel's construction arose from geological challenges, as engineer Karel Hummel modified initial plans for a cutting into an open tunnel design due to unstable ground conditions.
