Praha 7, Czech Republic
Letná
N/A
One end of the tunnel commissioned to be built by Emperor Rudolf II. He never did anything by half measures. When he wanted to maintain artificial fish ponds in Prague’s Stomovka park, he had the kilometer-long tunnel built from the Vltava river, under Letná and into the landscaped wooded area. At the time it was private imperial property used as a game preserve. This was no small feat. Much of what is known as Rudolfova štola, or Rudolfine Tunnel, had to be built through solid rock centuries before the invention of dynamite. Construction took place 1584–93, stopping sporadically when money ran out. Traces of the tunnel, which still functions, can still be seen at either end as well as along the way. The tunnel is still in good condition, but it is not currently open to the public. This building is neglected and covered in graffiti.

Rudolfova štola byla vybudována v 16. století jako tunel pro zásobování Královské obory vodou - dnes známá Stromovka. Štola je dlouhá 1098 metrů a překonává výškový rozdíl hladin Vltavy 110 cm. Vedle vpusti je domek poddůlniho.
