Vyhlídka Černá skála - 180 00

Relaxation, sometimes a dog breeder..beautiful view of Holešovice :)

Nice view, especially late afternoon

The Bílá skála natural monument is a protected area on the right bank of the Vltava. The area is approximately delimited by Povltavská, Na Truhlářce and Bulovka hospitals and includes two rocky promontories - the larger Bílá skála and the smaller Koráb. It is on it that the Černá skála viewpoint has a quite impressive view of the wide meander of the Vltava, Holešovice, Libeň, but also the distant city center. The novel The Mammoth Hunters was named after the novel by Eduard Štorch. There are black shales (hence the name), quartzite, sandstone and claystone. Quartzite was mined here until the beginning of the 20th century and was used in the construction of roads. Claystones were used in bricklaying. Unlike Bílá skála, Koráb is considerably overgrown with vegetation and the rocks are not exposed. Thanks to their suitable orientation, there used to be vineyards on both slopes.

Great view, unfortunately the place is neglected, full of rubbish and overgrown.

Very beautiful view, especially in the evening.

On the prospect we went to the recommendation of a friend. I was expecting something more. I do not know. It's just behind the cemetery, no bench. The view is beautiful, we have pleasant weather and so we looked for a moment. But there is a lack of the ability to cheat on the butt and relax, enjoy peace. But we certainly were not there for the last time.

Beautiful view, quite relaxing access road around the cemetery. The place itself would need a little care. Prune trees and air raids, add a few benches ...
