What's in a Prague street name

Zálesí was built in 1925.

Zalesí is behind (za) a forest (les).

If you want to know what to call that forest, you’re kind of spoiled for choice: you can call it Kunratický les (colloquially: Kunraťák), Krčský les (colloquially: Krčák) or, in its northwest, Michelský les.

As we’ll be going through Krč, Michle and Kunratice eventually in this series, there will surely be some forest-related stories then.
