In addition to bikes and trains, Copenhagen also has a canal, and it's mostly used by small boats, which are both private and passenger.

Here there was a stream back into the woods from a culvert that led to the canal.

Here's a close up of the Russian, I think, lettering on the apparent bunker.

Even more interesting was this bunker on one of the curves in the Schwarzenberg Canal, or at least that's what it looked like. It had been filled with concrete by the time I took this, but given the (apparently) Russian markings on it, I'm almost certain that it dates to the days when it when Sumava was a military area, possibly as far back as World War II. Any further info on this would be really interesting.

The Schwarzenberg Canal is of relatively small dimensions, but it is nevertheless a proper canal with locks like this one. I'm not sure of its current status, but it's still in good enough condition to appear maintained. Does anybody know if it's still used for anything?

I've been searching everywhere for info on this canal, and as far as I can ascertain it was mainly a logging canal.
