    There is a small wonder of the world in the Bohemian Forest - the Schwarzenberg canal. Forestry engineer Josef Rosenauer had the idea of transporting wood from the Bohemian Forest to Vienna and this was made possible by the construction of the Schwarzenberg canal. The Schwarzenberg canal is a timber canal over 50 kilometers long that was built in the 18th century and used commercially until the 20th century.

    Very nice bike path along the Schwarzenberský Plavební Kanál (Schwarzenberg's Alluvial Canal).
    Beautiful section from Jelení (Hirschbergen) to Zadni Zvonková.
    Exhibition in Jeleni, several water crosses, church and cemetery in Zadni Zvonková, a devastated village.
    Alternating surface (asphalt, forest path).
    Always along the canal, different cycle path numbers: 7, 1033, R 888
    In places great views towards the Vltava.
    Pure nature.

    Wonderful cycle path, mostly in the forest and with only minimal gradients, as it runs directly along the canal. Great gravel route!
