Čertovka
What people say
Lyndsey Kerridge
Available for hire
"Known as Prague's Little Venice, the Čertovka is a very picturesque canal on the western side of the Vltava river in Prague. The name can be translated as the Devil's Channel.
The construction of the canal has created an artificial island in Prague. This island between the Čertovka and the Vltava is called Kampa and it is quite an interesting place in its own right.
The Čertovka is 740 m (0.6 mi) long. Its beginning is near the northern end of Malostranské nábřeží and it flows back into the Vltava behind Charles Bridge. The canal thus flows through the Lesser Side (Malá Strana) throughout its entire course.
