This waymark takes you to the bridge across the river Zdobnice, which is a technical monument. Timbered covered bridge is near the railway station Peklo (Hell), leading to a favorite claim that just for us is the only known bridge to hell .. Most comes from the year 1840, as has been corrected in 1982. The bridge binds the unhappy event: bathing him paralyzed below the academic painter Antonin Slavicek. Information derived from the cache listing Pekelak.

Roubený krytý most je nedaleko železnicní stanice Peklo, což vede k oblíbenému tvrzení, že práve u nás je jediný známý most do pekla.. Most pochází z roku 1840, naposledy byl opraven roku 1982. K mostu se váže i neštastná príhoda: pri koupání pod ním ochrnul akademický malír Antonín Slavícek. Informace cerpany z listingu cache Pekelak.
