most silnice II/351 přes Skrýšovský potok Road bridge
The road bridge on Road II / 351 between the municipalities of Brzkov and Polná is bridged by the Hidden River. Its construction dates back to the 1930s and is registered as a real-estate cultural monument. This object represents a demonstration of stone bridge construction from the first half of the 19th century.
The bridge was built in the framework of extensive modernization of the transport network in the Czech countries, when permanent stone bridges were built for better connection of roads. It is a plastered construction with a single segment arch with a span of five metres, which rests in the offshore semi-circular pillars. The construction is made of quarry stone with brick bars. The total length of the bridge is 12 metres and its width is 4.5 metres. Parapet walls are 0.50 metres high, lined with bricks and covered with stone plates of dimensions 0.45 to 0.75 metres in length, 0.45 metres in width and 0.18 metres in thickness. At the ends of the straight parts, the walls are opened in a semi-circular manner with a radius of approximately one metre and are finished with stone lenses. The surface of the bridge is currently asphalt.
In 1973 the bridge was entered in the state list of cultural monuments under 14383 / 7- 5147 and in 2006 it was repaired. The bridge is associated with a reputation of a Polen butcher and a waterman. According to legend, the butcher broke his promise to provide the waterman with a piece of meat, for which he was met by the bad luck: his car overturned in the Hole River and drowned several horses. The home well struck a tragedy at home, where the butcher's son drowned. Later, he met a handless beggar on this bridge, who was actually a waterman. Hastings refused to take the grosh with it that he had already received his debt, and jumped into the water.
The bridge is located in the landscape between the municipalities of Brzkov and Polná and serves as part of the road II / 351. Thanks to its technical design and cultural heritage status, it is a valuable element of historical infrastructure. Visiting this place allows you to see the history of 19th century transport construction.
