Deep CCD imaging of HH 34 in H∝ shows that the HH-object has a bow shock-like structure, of which the wings can be traced over about 1 arcmin ( pc). A knotty jet is pointing towards the apex of the bow shock structure. Long-slit spectroscopy reveals that 1) the jet has approximately a constant radial velocity and electron density. 2). The spectrum of the jet is of a much lower excitation than that of HH 34. 3) HH 34 has a complex velocity and line excitation structure. The extended bow shock is interpreted by a jet of which the working surface is propagating with high velocity (≈ 200 km/s) through a partially ionized medium.
