Stone Bridge - Orlicke mountains, Czech Republic - Stone Bridges on Waymarking.com

The Orlické Mountains are about a 50 km long ridge with an altitude between 1 000 to 1 100 m, extending in the direction southeast-northwest of the Czech-Polish border. The highest peak is the Great Deštná with a height of 1115 meters above sea level. The altitude above sea level reaches less than 500 m only at two points, which are the breakthroughs of the Divoké Orlice river at Cihak and Tiché Orlice at Mladkov. The Orlické Mountains are known as protracted forested mountain ridges, deep and narrow, sometimes with rocky valleys of rivers and streams, bogs, wetlands with rare flora and fauna, memorable old trees, but also distinctive folk architecture. Some spots offer distant panoramic vistas. The most valuable part of the territory is the protected area of the Orlické Mountains since 1969 which extends from Olešnice in the Orlické Mountains to Earth's gate (Zemská brána).

The bridge was originally built in 1903 by means of Italian workers. Within 2004-2005, complete reconstruction of the bridge was effected. The reconstruction was successfull, so the bridge was declared as best work of 2006 in Hradec Králové Region.
