Tunel pro pěší na Riegrově stezce

Beautiful path. I recommend to come up to Spálov and go back to the top. I think this is Palacky path.

Beautiful walk from Spálov to Semily :-)

When the Rieger Trail was created in 1909, the builders had to deal with some challenging sections. The paths copying the right bank of the Jizera stood in the way of the rock massifs. In the first part of the trail, the 77-meter-long hanging gallery solved the unevenness of the terrain (it would be economically and time-consuming to start such a long tunnel). The second difficult place was a rock formation at the foot of Medence. The construction of a gallery was also considered here. In the end, however, it was decided to break through the tunnel through an unusually hard rock. In six weeks, the twelve-meter-long tunnel was completed. To fire it, 1086 pieces of dynamite cartridges were needed. The rock released about a hundred tons of rocks and minerals.

Very nice place on the Rieger Trail. Browse this way at what time of the year really trick for it.

I recommend a nice place on the Rieger Trail at the end to look at the power plant

Not only the tunnel, but the entire Rieger Trail through the Jizera Valley is beautiful and definitely worth a visit and a hiking trip, which you can end in the Bozkov Caves, for example. Just avoid the Hotel Pod Spálovem with an arch. I have never encountered greater arrogance from staff. It is better to Roubenka in Bozkov or to a restaurant in Železný Brod.
