What's in a Prague street name

K vysoké cestě was nameless until 1906.

K vysoké cestě leads to Vysoká cesta, a road whose name translates as ‘The High Way’ or similar (not a ‘highway’, though, and ‘cesta’ has more than one translation).

I would reveal more, but I’m trying to get all the Podolí streets done before I move on to Braník, and there are three to go before I can do that. But I will say that Vysoká cesta reminds me of no other street that I’ve written about so far.
