Ovčí most v Nejdku, Stone bridge in Tisová, Czech Republic
Ovčí most is a single-arch stone bridge over the Karlovy Vary–Johanngeorgenstadt railway line between the Nejdek-Tisová and Nejdek-Sejfy stops, at kilometre 29.564. Its semicircular vault of coursed masonry is about 0.5 m thick, and the front walls rise above the roadway to form parapets with stone-block cornices. The bridge is 22.4 m long, about 5 m wide and 7.15 m above the ground.
The bridge was constructed in 1898 during a period of infrastructure growth in the region. It reflects the building techniques and engineering skills of the late 19th century.
The bridge carries a marked hiking trail from Nejdek to Tisovský vrch (977 m) and the Pajndl lookout tower. Its name, Ovčí most (Sheep Bridge), is not explained in the sources. The deck is an unpaved path.
The bridge can be reached via local roads and walking paths and is open to both vehicles and pedestrians. You can visit the structure year-round and explore it from the surrounding trails.
The bridge was repaired in 2018 by the company MD STAV SOLUTION s. r. o.; its administrator is Státní lesy, s.p. It stands at kilometre 29.564 of the Karlovy Vary–Johanngeorgenstadt line, 7.15 m above the track in a rock cutting.
