Deer Valley Viaduct
The Deer Valley Viaduct (Slovene: Jelenov most, Dolinski most; German: Hirschthaler viadukt) is a historic railroad bridge in Slovenia. It sits on the Vienna–Trieste line via Ljubljana, between Borovnica and Laze pri Borovnici. The 11-arch viaduct is about 29 meters (95 feet) high and 230 meters (750 feet) long. It was built at the same time as the nearby Dol Viaduct and the much larger Borovnica Viaduct, and the line opened in 1856. The structure is made of stone and brick with oak piles under the columns and is protected as cultural heritage as an example of construction from the Austrian Monarchy era.
Before 1944, trains ran from Verd to Borovnica via the Borovnica Viaduct; after 1947, tracks were rerouted along the edge of the Borovnica Valley because the Borovnica Viaduct had been destroyed. At the same time, Borovnica station was moved to the east side of the valley, and the viaducts at Pako and Breg pri Borovnici were taken out of service.
