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.
