What's in a Prague street name

Every street in Prague, one by one.


Prague 4, day 195: Srázná

Srázná was built in 1955.

‘Srázná’ translates as ‘steep’ or ‘precipitous’, and describes the geographical location of the street.

Another word for the same concept is ‘příkrá’, as in https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/10/07/prague-4-day-191-prikra/.

It’s nothing to do with a ‘sraz’, i.e. a meeting. A word that I learned a few years back when somebody clearly got a digit wrong in someone else’s mobile number and kept asking me if I had any information about the ‘sraz’. I didn’t, but I hope whoever it was did eventually meet.
