    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 50-kilometer-long wood-floating system that was built in the 18th century and used commercially until the 20th century. It was only after the fall of the Iron Curtain that the canal, which had been hidden for a long time, became accessible to tourists and visitors in its entirety.

      Here you will find the Rosenauer Memorial and the beginning of the Schwarzenberg canal, which was planned and built by Joseph Rosenauer. The canal bypasses the European watershed so that wood could be floated across the Danube to Vienna. Due to the natural gradient, the water would flow northwards across the Vltava into the Elbe/North Sea.
