Can water sing? Listen closely to the gentle murmur of Prosecký potok. It weaves a watery melody through Prague’s districts of Prosek, Liben, and Vysocany. Prosecký potok, a mere kilometer long, is more than just a stream. It’s a whispered secret of the city, a testament to nature’s resilience amidst urban sprawl. Its journey begins humbly, springing forth from beneath the Jetelka homestead. Imagine the trickle of water gaining momentum as it carves a path through the valley. It flows between the towering estacade connecting Prosek and the UN district. The stream dances past the vineyards of Kelerka and Michalka, pausing to fill small fishponds along its route. Prosecký potok then embarks on a subterranean adventure, disappearing beneath the roadway and the railway west of Praha-Vysočany station. It reemerges, blinking in the sunlight, within the verdant expanse of Podviní Park. Here, it stretches languidly into the Dragon’s Lake. It meanders through several man-made water features, creating a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city. Finally, Prosecký potok concludes its journey, joining the Rokytka River as a tributary. Its song fades into the larger current, leaving behind a sense of peace and a renewed appreciation for the subtle power of water.
