Na krčské stráni was built in 1935.


A ‘stráň’ is a hillside, or a slope, and this street is quite literally on one in Krč.
I’m quite glad that my mental block/conviction that ‘stráň’ means ‘border’ turned out not to be true, because Na krčské stráni is in no way on the border of Krč, and I’d have struggled to explain its name at all if I’d been right.
It’s a damn shame that there was never a soap opera called ‘Krčenders’ or ‘Krčsiders’, though. Guess there’s still time?
