Petr Ryska - Prague unknown III

Product detailed description

The third part of Unknown Prague will once again take us to the lesser-known and often mysterious parts of the capital. We will discover the mystical Upper New Town with its sacral and university buildings. We will get to know the unusual charm of the emergency colonies Na Kotlaska and Na Hájku, we will visit old farms in Đáblice, which were once a village. We will walk through the old Hlubočepy in the valley of the Dalejské stream, cut into the Prokopské rocks, and the ancient village of Prosek with the thousand-year-old church of St. Wenceslas.

"And almost every evening, sometimes even later, I quietly climbed up to Hájek, other times to Šlosberk, so that I could not look up from the peak at the Libeň spread out below me, when the lights of Prague glittered there on the horizon."
Bohumil Hrabal, Life Without a Tuxedo (short story My Love)
