Kampa
- Category: Neighborhoods/Streets
- Location: Malá Strana
Fodor's Review:
Prague's largest island is cut off from the "mainland" by the narrow Certovka streamlet. The name Certovka, or Devil's Stream, reputedly refers to a cranky old lady who once lived on Maltese Square (given the river's present dirty state, the name remains appropriate). During the 2002 floods, the well-kept lawns of the Kampa Gardens, which occupy much of the island, were covered as was much of the lower portion of Malá Strana. The reconstruction is nearly complete, but evidence of flood damage occasionally marks the landscape.
