I could talk about myself for ages, or I could point out that https://english.radio.cz/ed-ley-englishman-recording-stories-pragues-streets-one-one-8806941 is over two years old but still largely stands (other than the Twitter links).

Prague 4, day 409: Na vrstevnici

Na vrstevnici was built in 1935.

A ‘vrstevnice’ is a line on a map that connects two places of equal elevation, helping them to show the shape and height of the terrain. In other words, a contour line.

And the street is named because it’s located ‘on’ one.
