Description
The Kamnitz Gorge (Czech: Sout�sky Kamenice, German: Kamnitzklamm or German: Edmundsklamm) is a rocky ravine between H�ensko (Herrnskretschen), Mezn� and Srbsk� Kamenice in Bohemian Switzerland in the Czech Republic. The river Kamnitz flows through it and discharges near H�ensko into the Elbe.
History
The Kamnitz Gorge was first travelled in 1877 by young men. Prince Edmund Clary-Aldringen had the way through the gorge widened by Italian construction workers in 1889 and in 1890 boats were used in the Edmund Gorge (German: Edmundsklamm, Czech: Edmundova Sout�ska), also called the Silent Gorge (German: Stille Klamm, Czech: Tich� Sout�ska). The Wild Gorge (German: Wilde Klamm, Czech: Divok� Sout�ska) followed in 1898. In 1881 there was a boat service to the Grundm�hle in the adjoining Ferdinand Gorge (Ferdinandsklamm), which has since been withdrawn.
