The last part of the street Pod Bruskou, called the Mouse Hole
Ascending from the first curve of Chotkova (Chotek) road northwards. Behind this, near the column, follows a path leading to Chotek Park, to the Letenská Plain, and to Dejvice. When the city walls were still standing in the north of Prague and Chotek road was non-existent, the street Pod Bruskou and its continuation formed a very busy pass in the rock, through which the main thoroughfare passed northward out of the city via Písecká Gate. On the right, one can see three picturesque houses, Cervený jelínek (The Little Red Deer), No. 135, followed by Nos. 136 and 137, with the inn V Balonu (In the Balloon). The little houses overstep the street line and are reminiscent of Prague wooden buildings of ancient times, with their various projections and cellars under the pavements. In the place of these houses, on the left-hand side, luxurious Hoffmeister hotel now stands. An older Písecká Gate stood in the place shown in the lower part of the picture, in 1588-1829.
