What's in a Prague street name

Every street in Prague, one by one.


Prague 4, day 295: Nad lesem


Nad lesem was built in 1935.

While we’ve established that parts of Hodkovičky are quite barren (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2026/01/28/prague-4-day-293-na-lysinach/), you can go a tiny bit further to the north and find yourself just above a forest.

Or, in Czech, ‘nad lesem’. The forest is on the border between Hodkovičky and Braník.

I mean, this is based on what I’ve looked up; it’s been a very icy January, and everything round here looked much nearer to being barren than forest last weekend.
