What's in a Prague street name

Na rozhledu was built in 1934.

A ‘rozhled’ is a ‘view’ or an ‘outlook’. And this is a good reminder that we are currently overlooking the Branické skály, or Braník Rocks (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/10/02/prague-4-day-187-nad-lomem/).

There are some pretty great views round here, and I need to add some pictures of them to these posts.

Stand in the right spot, and you even have a view of Zlíchov, which we’ll talk about a lot when we get across the river and into Prague 5.

For those who like vocabulary, ‘všeobecný rozhled’ is a general outlook, and therefore ‘general knowledge’, and it’s always a good idea to ‘rozšiřovat si rozhled’ – to broaden one’s horizons.
