The Klášterec Viaduct is a rare technical monument located less than 2 kilometres southwest of Vimperk, near the village of Klášterec. Four arches of the railway bridge span the Arnoštský Brook; it was opened to traffic on 9 July 1900 as part of the then newly completed Volary–Strakonice railway line.

The viaduct is one of the most striking technical structures in southwest Bohemia and today is a popular spot for walks and photography. It can be reached along a short walk on the nature trail circuit around Vimperk – children will enjoy the cold, clear water of the Volyňka and the Arnoštský Brook, whose confluence lies right in front of the viaduct, where a small wooden train for children has stood since 2021.
