Borovina railway bridge

Borovina railway bridge is a steel structure that stretches 160 meters and rises about 42.5 meters above the Stařeč stream. It crosses a valley and the II/410 road, supporting regular rail traffic over both.

Construction began in 1885, and the bridge opened for rail traffic the following year. It was built as part of regional railway expansion during that period.

The bridge serves as a link between communities along the railway corridor and remains an important part of how people and goods move through the region. It reflects the historical need to connect distant places by rail.

You can view this structure from the valley below, which gives the best perspective of its scale and design. The best time to visit is during daylight hours when you can see details of the steel framework clearly.

A separate footbridge runs alongside the railway tracks, allowing people to walk across at this height. This additional passage makes the structure serve more than just rail transport.
