Virtual Walking Tour of Prague's Center: Na Příkopě and Národní Streets 🇨🇿 Сzech Republic 4k HDR
Virtual Walking Tour of Prague's Central District, exploring Na Příkopě and Národní Streets on a Foggy Day
Na příkopě (On the moat), informally also Na Příkopě, Na Příkopech or Příkopy, is a street in the center of Prague, Czech Republic, connecting Wenceslas Square with the Republic Square. It separates the Old Town from the New Town. It is a place of representative buildings, including the headquarters of the Czech National Bank, old palaces, and luxurious shops.
Na Příkopě street leads to the site of a former 10-meter-wide and 8-meter-deep moat from 1234, which led along the medieval walls of the Old Town. Water flowed directly from the Vltava river, and when the moat was filled, the Old Town formed a closed island. The moat was covered in 1760. After coating, chestnut trees were planted here, and the street was named Ve starých alejích (In old alleys). From 1845-to 70, the street was named Kolowratská třída, and since 1871 bears the name Na Příkopě. Because it was one of the few vast streets in Prague, it soon became a traffic artery. Since 1875, the first line of the Prague horse-drawn tram has been led here, electrified since 1899. In 1919, Můstek became the first intersection in Prague controlled by a traffic policeman. In 1927, then the second intersection with the light signaling[4] (the first being Hybernská-Dlážděná-Havlíčkova intersection). In the 1960s, traffic jams were getting worse. However, in 1978 the metro station was opened at Můstek, and Line B followed the street from 1985 for almost its entire length to the Republic Square. A nearly century-old tram line was canceled in 1985, and the bustling urban street turned into a pedestrian zone. On the road appeared many new stores, and it became an important business center of the Prague promenade.
Národní, formerly Národní třída, is one of the important avenues in Prague, Czech Republic. It is placed on the boundary of New Town and Old Town, in the southwest direction from the city's center. This avenue connects the Legion Bridge bridge with Jungmannovo náměstí. In medieval times, there were fortification walls. On Friday, 17 November 1989, riot police violently suppressed a peaceful student demonstration, which is thought of as the initiation of the Velvet Revolution. Národní třída continued to be an eventful locale during the rest of the revolution.

České dráhy (ČD) or Czech Railways is the main railway operator in the Czech Republic. In 2010 its consolidated revenues reached CZK 41.0 billion (€1.6bn, $2.1bn). Revenues from passenger transport amounted to CZK 18.7 billion (65% transfer payments from the government, 25% intra-state transport, 10% international transport), revenues from freight transport operated by subsidiary ČD Cargo amounted to CZK 11.8 billion, revenues from traffic control invoiced to state-owned railway infrastructure operator SŽDC amounted to CZK 5.2 billion. With thirty-eight thousand employees ČD Group is the largest Czech company by the number of employees.
The company was established in 1993, after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia as a successor of the Czechoslovak State Railways. It is a member of the International Railway Union (UIC Country Code for Czech Republic is 54), Community of European Railways and the Organization for Railways Cooperation (Asia and Europe).
Until 1 July 2008, České dráhy was the biggest employer in the Czech Republic. After experiencing regular losses and requiring government subsidies, the railway reported its first ever profit in 2007 although it receives government subsidies. Attempts to make it more efficient are currently ongoing and a recent plan to move passenger transport to an independent subsidiary was approved by the Czech government in January 2008.
ČD operates trains; fixed infrastructure (such as tracks) is managed by SŽDC. In December 2010, the Czech government proposed bringing SŽDC and ČD together in a single holding company. The government has also changed the subsidies available to ČD and SŽDC.
ČD Cargo, the cargo subsidiary, mainly transports raw materials, intermediate goods and containers. As of 2009, it is ranked in the top five largest railway cargo operators in Europe.

Blatná Castle history
The castle and grounds at Blatna are undoubtedly one of the most important monuments of their type in this country today from an architectural and historical standpoint. The castle's long history, distinct architectural style in a rare surviving environment of parks and water, and current condition make it a jewel among castle complexes. Along with Švihov and Červena Lhota, Blatna is one of the best-preserved water castles in the Czech Republic. Its architectural and historical development made this chateau a striking example of the changing artistic styles over the centuries. Since it was held mainly by members of the high nobility over the years, Blatna was one of the places where Central Europe's history was made and shaped.
Archeological findings indicate that the knoll in the middle of the marshes (blata – from where Blatna's name derives) was settled in prehistoric times. Slavs began to appear in the Blatna area in the late 7th and early 8th centuries. Permanent Slavic settlement, however, only occurred in the late 10th century.
The settlement at Blatna was well positioned because of an essential old trade route connecting Sušice and Horažďovice, which crossed the river Lomnice at this spot. Blatna's first historical record was in 1235 when the fortress was first mentioned as the seat of Vyšemír, a member of the lesser nobility (coat of arms: arrow), perhaps a poor relation of the Bavor of Strakonice family. Blatna was mentioned again in 1241 with a certain Předosta of Blatna, this time clearly indicating a small castle protected by water, made up of the castle itself and a private Romanesque chapel, quite complex from a structural point of view, which must have been built somewhere between the late 12th century and 1225. Despite this, however, the oldest period of the castle's history is sometimes linked – as is the case for other castles in this region – with the Knights Templar and the obligatory accompanying legends.
Wenzel Karl and his heirs held on to Blatna until today, except for the forced interruption during the Communist period. Franz (František) Hildprandt oversaw an extensive adaptation of the chateau to create a representative seat providing comfortable living quarters. Later, Robert Hildprandt oversaw Romantic-style Neo-Gothic renovations in 1850 through 1856, designed by architect Bernard Grüber of Munich, giving the building more or less its current look.
In the late 1940s, the National Heritage Commission took over the chateau and later confiscated from the Hildprandts after the Communist takeover. Friedrich (Bedřich) Hildprandt, his wife Cornelia, and their daughters were allowed to legally emigrate to Ethiopia after 1958, thanks to the family's ties to Emperor Haile Selassie I. The relics of the family's time in Ethiopia are a compelling addition to the chateau exhibition. After 1989, the estate returned to the hands of the Hildprandts after its restitution to Cornelia, the wife of Friedrich Hildprandt (who died in 1981 in Germany), and their daughters Josefina and Jana. The current owners are working intensively restoring the chateau and opening it to visitors.
History of the park
The 42-hectare castle park is one of the most beautiful locations in the region. It is open to the public year-round – in fact, people have been visiting it since the times of Ferdinand Hildprandt.
Franz (František) Hildprandt had the front part of the original game park transformed into an English park. The rear part was kept in its original form with the sejpy (remains of gold panning in times past) surrounded by large trees.
The park has streams, bridges, paths, and beautiful alleyways. When a new road was built in 1810, Baron Franz also had a man-made hill built in the southwest corner of the park with rocks and caves connected by stone tunnels. During the Napoleonic Wars, this project gave work and wages to the residents of Blatna. The park also once held an orangery, theater, Swiss house, lodge, and shooting range, but these no longer exist.
Today, the only building standing in the park is the Empire-style house where the Hildprandt family now resides.
Another popular attraction in the castle park is the large herd of fallow deer, which graze freely, and a muster of peacocks. Numerous ancient oak trees also grow on the grounds.
