What's in a Prague street name

Bohdalec was built in 1930.

Bohdalec is (a surname and) a hill, shared between Michle and Vršovice. The summit – at 273 metres above sea level – is in Michle.

Until the 1930s, Bohdalec was known as Sychrov, and there are streets named after that too, but in Prague 10.

In 1930, a deep excavation known as the Bohdalecký zářez / Bohdalec Cut took place to facilitate the construction of a railway line. This ended up creating a second peak, Tyršův vrch.

Tyršův vrch was originally the location of the local Sokol (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/08/26/prague-2-day-114-sokolska/).

And the Sokol association was co-founded by Miroslav Tyrš (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/08/31/prague-2-day-132-tyrsova/), hence the name.
