There is a bizarre and ugly artificial beach in Smíchov. There is a small untidy beach in “Hořejší nábřeží” in Smíchov as well. Just few meters from the artificial one. The place is very beautiful with its wildness. Jean Nouvel wanted to build big tower rising directly from the water, but the project was never realized. So the place is waiting for its urban future. Hopefully it will be like that another long time. If you want, please visit the place these days. You will find starving pigeons, gulls and swans. The train will pass the railway's bridge etc...
