Dlouhá Stoka (Long Canal)
Highlight • Structure
The Long Canal is a technical monument that crosses a large part of the Slavkov Forest. It was completed in 1536, but mining activities required more and more water to power machines and equipment, so the canal had to be expanded further. The route was surveyed by the surveyor Rossmeisel and called the Raftsgraben.
The total length of the Raftsgraben was 24.2 km. It led the water almost along a contour line to the Teilhäsel. Here it forked. One branch continued towards Seifertsgrün, probably identical to the old ditch from 1499. The other branch continued towards Krásno. The water was partly led into some mining ponds and finally led to the mining and processing plants.
The canal was on average two meters wide and it was lined with logs on the sides, mainly for transporting wood from the forest. The canal was on average one meter deep.
The water flow was quite fast and the difference in altitude between the beginning (810 m above sea level) and the confluence with the Slavkov stream in Horni Slavkov (587 m above sea level) represented 223 m in a total length of 24.2 km. On a 100-meter section, the gradient ranged from 0.35 to 0.83 m. The flow rate was about 0.4 m3/s.
