History
The Kamenice 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, also called the Silent Gorge (Czech: Edmundova soutěska or Tichá soutěska, German: Edmundsklamm or Stille Klamm). The Wild Gorge (Czech: Divoká soutěska, German: Wilde Klamm) followed in 1898. In 1881 there was a boat service to the mill of Gründmühle (now the Dolský Mill) in the adjoining Ferdinand Gorge (Ferdinandsklamm), which has been withdrawn in 1939.
