víla Rokytka Sculpture

“A nymph?” you might ask, tilting your head at the Víla Rokytka Sculpture. Yes, a nymph. She stands as a testament to the river she embodies, the Rokytka, a vital artery weaving through Prague 9 – Vysočany. The ROKYTKA VIEWS housing project, now fully sold, once graced this area near Kolbenova metro station. It offered stunning views of the very river this wooden nymph represents. Víla Rokytka isn’t just a piece of art. She’s a symbol of the blend of nature and urban life that defines this part of Prague. The nearby Rokytka Park, a haven of green, offers a tranquil escape, much like the river itself winding its way through the city. Imagine the residents of the KOLBEN GATE project, just a stroll away, enjoying the serenity of both park and river. This sculpture serves as a reminder of their presence, a silent guardian watching over the neighborhood. Víla Rokytka also symbolizes the area’s transformation. From the former ČKD complex to the vibrant Emil Kolben district, this area has seen a rebirth, mirroring the constant renewal of nature. This wooden nymph is a tangible link to the river’s lifeblood, a celebration of the natural world amidst the hustle and bustle of city living. She is a whisper of the past and a promise for the future, a constant presence in the ever-changing landscape of Prague.
