Dolina Eliaszówki, Czerna, gmina Krzeszowice, powiat krakowski, woj. małopolskie
The ruins of an impressive bridge (also called the Hermit's Bridge or Angel's Bridge), modelled on Roman aqueducts - a structure of this type unique on a European scale. It was about 18 m high, 120 m long and 9.5 m wide, with 11 arches.
The bridge is located in the Eliaszówka Valley in Czerna (Krzeszowice municipality, Lesser Poland Voivodeship), near the monastery of the Discalced Carmelites. Coordinates: approx. 50.16584°N, 19.63492°E.
Built in 1671-1691 by the Discalced Carmelites as an approach to the monastery from the Siedlec side; the bridge and wall ensured peace for the hermits. Partly destroyed by 1843, it was taken out of use in 1889 after the central arch was damaged. Entered into the register of monuments in 1970.
For tourists hiking the Jura Valleys Trail and visiting the monastery in Czerna.
Accessible year-round from public space.
