Mnichovská průrva
The Mnichovská průrva (German Münchner Schlucken ) is an artificially created rock channel in northern Bohemia ( Czech Republic ). It is located a good kilometer south of Zahrádky ( Neugarten ). Through it, the Bobří potok is directed into the Novozámecký rybník ( Hirnsener Large Pond ) and there flows into the Robečský potok .
history
The system was built in the 14th century as an outlet for the Munich pond . The pond has been abandoned since 1792 and has not been dammed since then. The former pond floor is used for agriculture today. To the north of the canal was the village of Mnichov ( Munich ), which was extinct in the Thirty Years' War , of which only the Church of St. Barbara stayed.
The rock channel is 50 meters long and four meters wide. It begins at the confluence of the Bobří potok ( Bieberbach ) and the Dolský potok ( Gründelbach ) and directs the water of the two streams into the Novozámecký rybník ( Hirnsener Large Pond ). The entire length of the piercing through the rock ledge is about 100 meters. At the swallow is the baroque statue of St. Sorrow ( svatá Starosta ).
The facility is located directly on the road no. 9 between Zahrádky and Jestřebí ( Habstein ). This crosses the Schlucken on a stone arch bridge.
Similar rock channels can be found at Doksy ( Hirschberg ) as the outlet of the Máchovo jezero ( Lake Macha ) and the Břehyňský rybník ( Břehyňská průrva ) and in Zahrádky ( Neugarten ) as the outlet of the Novozámecký rybník.
