The Prokop Valley is bridged by a railway line called the Prague Semmering. Thus, several railway viaducts of the track exceeding the elevation of 150 meters arch over the valley. The viaducts are a unique technical bridge monument that you cannot miss. The eight-kilometer section, called the Prague Semmering, was built by Buštěhradská dráha in the years 1868 - 1872 as part of the railway line connecting Smíchovské nádraží and Hostivice. From July 1872, after semmering, trains with coal and wood began to pass, and from September the track was also used to transport passengers. The name Prague Semmering was derived from the Austrian track, which passes through the Semmering mountain pass. The route connects Lower Austria and Styria.
