Views of and from the Hradcany

by der_geograf - last update: Jan 17, 2004

We once were lost, but now we're found . . .

We got off of the trolley at the wrong stop, and ended up getting a little lost.

We stumbled upon the Czech Royal Gardens, and when we came to a clearing in the trees there it was--St. Vitus' Cathedral!

On the path to the castle gates . . .

Just look at those flying buttresses!
The main plaza inside the Czech castle, with St. Vitus' Cathedral climbing into the crystal clear August morning sky.
The elaborate side of St. Vitus' Cathedral (left), and the reception area for visiting heads of state (right).
I spent a lot of time looking up at the cathedral. It always amazes me how ornate the designs of most cathedrals are.
The Hradcany rests on a hill, and there are good views of Prague visible at certain places.
