What's in a Prague street name

Every street in Prague, one by one.


Prague 4, day 331: Vzdušná

Vzdušná was built in 1941 (I think).

There’s greenery around here, and there no doubt used to be a lot more of it, especially as none of these streets I’ve been covering lately seem to have sprung up earlier than Czechoslovakia did.

This particular street was built on a plateau near the forest.

One nice thing about forests and plateaus is that they have a decent amount of air – or ‘vzduch’, *or*, deriving an adjective from a noun, they are (making them all feminine to make this post flow a bit better) ‘vzdušná’.
