Railway viaduct, Railway bridge in Kryštofovo Údolí, Czech Republic
The Malý železniční viadukt u Noviny is a stone arch bridge on the Liberec–Česká Lípa line, standing east of the Novina bus stop between the U Myslivny tunnel and Kryštofovo Údolí halt. It has ten arches, is 127 m long and 17 m high, and is one of four arched viaducts on the Křižany–Liberec section.
The viaduct was built in 1900 and became essential for connecting settlements in this mountainous area. Its construction allowed the region to become part of the growing railway network.
The stone structure shows how the region embraced railway technology as part of daily life. The seven arches remain a familiar sight that shaped how people experience this valley's landscape.
You can view the viaduct from several viewpoints along the hiking trails that surround the valley. The best views are often from below, where you can clearly see the arches and their construction.
The small viaduct is one of four arched viaducts on the Křižany–Liberec section of the line. It stands east of the Novina bus stop, between the U Myslivny tunnel and the Kryštofovo Údolí railway halt, so trains pass it between two other engineering works.
