Crossing the bridge at night while the snow gently falls. A magic evening.

The island
Strelecky Ostrov is a small island situated in the Vltava river, somewhat reminiscent of Isola Tiberina in Rome or Île de la Cité in Paris. Unfortunately it's very small and prone to floods. The entire island was swallowed during the floods in 2002.

Man down, Ethan
Does it look familiar? This is the riverside alley featured prominently in the beginning of Mission Impossible where Tom Cruise had all sorts of problems with his mission. Naturally I had to have a peek through the wooden fence where the bad guy was hiding.

Chivalry
Our dining hall, complete with a wooden horse for sudden invasion plans.

In the footsteps
In 1648 Swedish troops rushed the Charles Bridge to conquer the Old City and severely damaged the eastern bridge tower.

Golem territory
Parizska street is stretching north towards the Jewish Quarter, where Rabbi Loew supposedly created his Golem. The legend claims that the deactivated clay body is still resting in the attic of the Old New Synagogue.
