Vyšehrad
Czechia
Vyšehrad is easiest to understand from below. The Pankrác plain, at roughly 230 metres above sea level, pushes a spur about 600 metres long towards the north-west, wedged between the Vltava and the valley of the Botič stream in Nusle. Its northern, western and southern slopes are very steep, and the south-western edge ends in a 42-metre rock of Ordovician shale that falls straight into the river, which here reaches its greatest depth anywhere in Prague. You are a little over three kilometres south-east of Prague Castle, on the right bank, and from the top the view runs along the river practically from Braník to the Old Town. It is counted among the finest natural viewpoints in the city.
