Hlubočepy Lake at night. 5 min. walk from the railway bridge. Two swans are begging for a piece of bread and hissing to threaten me. Crickets and cicades are chirping as if we are somewhere in The Carpatian Mountains. The 18 meter deep little lake created in 1907 strong watersource in the stone quarry. One of the best places in Prague for swimming. Popular among teeneagers, since you can in a spectacular way to jump from the high rocks around. The highest point to climb up and spring down is more then 10 m.
