Crawling Baby Sculptures by David Černý

Highlight • Monument

Prague - Huge baby sculptures

David Cerny is a Czech sculptor who never ceases to cause a stir with his art. His sculptures are spread all over the city.
On the occasion of Prague's recognition as a cultural capital in 2000, Cerny designed a group of sculptures called "Miminka" ("Babies").
One kind of very rare sculptures can be seen here in Kampa Park.

Great view of Charles Bridge...and sometimes you're "lucky" to see muskrats. Very impressive.

Johann Welfflin, born in Pomuk in 1340 (hence "von Pomuk" = Nepomuk) worked as an eloquent preacher to the Archbishop of Prague and aroused the king's anger at the time. In 1393 Nepomuk was tortured on the king's orders and thrown from Charles Bridge into the Vltava. According to legend, the corpse rose from the water surrounded by shining stars.

Charles Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Construction of the Charles Bridge (Karlův most) began in 1357, after its predecessor, the Judith Bridge, built around 1160, was destroyed in a flood in 1342. Its original name was simply "Stone Bridge" (Kamenný most) or "Prague Bridge" (Pražský most).
It has only been called Charles Bridge since 1870. It stands on 16 pillars and is 516 meters long. Above the first pillar on the Old Town side rises a gate tower, considered one of the most beautiful Gothic towers in existence. The other 15 pillars are decorated with sculptures on each side. But this wasn't the case from the beginning:
the sculptures were only added after 1700.
At the bridgehead on the Lesser Town side, there are two towers, the smaller of which is said to have originated from the Judith Bridge. The larger tower houses a tourist information office, and like the Old Town Bridge Tower, it can also be climbed.
Like the Old Town Bridge Tower, it is open daily.
Both towers are open daily from 10 a.m., until 7 p.m. in winter and until 10 p.m. in summer. Admission is 75 CZK each.
The Charles Bridge is a pedestrian-only bridge and one of the most popular tourist destinations. Among the almost constant stream of visitors, there are
occasionally souvenir vendors. Very often, these are painters who market their artistic creations here. And it is probably also one of the places where one can expect an increased incidence of
unwanted property transfers.

Bell No. 9801 on the Vltava River

Highlight • Monument

It weighs 9801 kilograms and is named after the number 9801. With its symbolic weight and name, bell number 9801 is reminiscent of the church bells that fell silent in 9801 during the Second World War. At that time, Bohemian and Moravian church bells were confiscated by the German occupiers and transported to German war factories in order to use the material from the bells for armaments production.
