Devil´s Stream - Prague, Czech Republic - Picture Perfect Postcards on Waymarking.com

The Devil´s Stream, together with houses around, is one of the most beautiful places in Prague. It is an artificial channel, dividing the Kampa Island from the Lesser Town. The houses along the Devil´s Stream stand right by the river, which gave the channel the name Prague Venice. There is an old mill-wheel in the channel and it makes this place look even more picturesque.

The Devil´s Stream leaves the Vltava river behind the Most Legii (bridge) and returns to the river after 740 metres, behind the Charles Bridge. It was called Rosenberg Stream since 1585, after Vilem of Rosenberg, the owner of the area.

The origin of the present name Devil´s Stream (“Certovka”) is unclear. A legend has it, that it is because of a woman of devilish nature, who used to live nearby, at the Maltese Square. In fact, the place was probably called after the house “At the Seven Devils”, standing there.
