Romantick Malvazinky in Prague is definitely worth a trip and a little sweat
The villa fortress above the Smchov traffic artery has always been called by its name. I was sure that it was named after some kind of fairy tale characters. In my imagination, Malvazna was a bewilder forest, which helped with lost and unhappy postage, and in her free time she danced in translucent attics on a forest glade.
I imagined her friends, Pav vrch, descending on a hill with her friends, and the winds of the wild flowers were tangled at the church. Yes, it is certainly a fact that, as I should have, I swallowed the frogs in which the figure of Meluzna appeared, the two of whom, in the wild of snow, are too many and have magical abilities.
The sound of the names certainly confused my head. I was even surprised when I found out that malignant or shortened malignant is my own alcoholic beverage. The center of the word Malvasia meant the origin of Malvasia, a city in the Peloponnese. To this day, the varieties of flea aromatic aromas from Stedomo, which have a sweet taste, are described as such.
There were also vineyards above Smchov (as in other Prague hills), the town was named after their owner Tom Malvazna or t Malvazy. The Lesser Town monastery, together with the Baroque homestead, acquired it in 1628.
It was gradually built into a pub, at the end of the 19th century it took on a classicist form, later the neighboring Protivka vineyard was added to the land, named after the dog from the Old Town Hynek Protiva.
In 1840, when Malvazna was the property of Jan Grein, there were several farm buildings and glasses. In 1875, a large part of the land was sold to the Smchov village, which built a cemetery here as a substitute for Malostransk, on which the capacity grew, and an apartment in an old wine house was built for the tomb.
The homestead did not escape the building right even in the last century, after the wolf it turned into a sanatorium and even today it is a part of a medical facility, a rehabilitated clinic, which stands right next to the street.
English style
And there were several vineyard homesteads in the area, such as Barvka, Klavrka, Laurov, Brentov, most of which gradually disappeared. Apart from Malvazna, the Smokov Santoka has been preserved, standing on the slope under which the Mrzovka tunnel leads.
Its original owner, the first in the services of the Schwarzenberg canine, František Vilm Sonntag, had the vineyards turned into a garden in the middle of the 18th century. Today is the matesk kola.
The sawmill park was opened to the public, which houses statues of Frantisek Ignec Platzer, a leading Czech late Baroque and Rococo sculptor. Santoka’s Garden is a step away from the rehabilitation clinic, and a bit longer you come across the confectionery, which two belonged to actor Ann Geislerov.
The confectionery is strategically located in the middle of the district, separating two colonies, which were built here for me in the late 1920s. One hundred is located at Malvazinsk cemetery between Xaveriova and Pm streets, the other about a hundred meters entrance between Pravohl and Mal Xaveriova streets.

Unlike the other crack colonies, which were determined by the primary length, the houses were given a home no less than a week. According to some sources, they were moved to them by many teachers, who then came to the capital for work.
They had only one room and a bathroom in the attic, there was a lonice in the attic, above the attic. The interesting thing is that the houses have a basement in their minimalist dimensions, and in the basement, in addition to the cellar, there was a laundry room. The picturesque houses do not lack front gardens, and the English style in which they are built reminded me of Biennials in Stranice. But they do not stand right next to the cemetery, there is a theater and a park next to them.
The Smchov cemetery, as the official name of the local place of last rest, belongs to the dark ones you will find in Prague. It was founded in 1876 according to the design of Anton Barviti. The well-known architect also took part in other Prague buildings, such as Grbe’s villa, the facade of the voril convent, Josef Jungmann, the Smchov church of St. Vclava or former Smchovsk town hall.
He gained the dominant cemetery and twenty years later in the form of a neo-Romanesque church dedicated to St. Philip and St. James. It was the replacement of the church from the 11th century, two stands on Arbesov nmst.
A number of personalities are buried here: writer Jakub Arbes, statue of enk Vosmk, legends of the Czech underground Egon Bondy and Mejla Hlavsa, politician and newspaper Ji Grua, illustrator Ondej Sekora, director František Vlil and singer Karel Gott.
Karel Gott, for example, is buried in the Malvazinky cemetery.
Steen secrets
During the walk, don’t miss Pav vrch, its name-named walk from a flock of big birds that came here from the gardens of the Smchov summer house. The unobtrusive hill with a surprisingly beautiful view not only of Radlice, but also Vyehrad, Podol, Pankrc or Petn. According to the sensibilities, it also has a strong energy field, and is therefore a suitable place to think about the future and the concrete realizations of your full.
And whatever the situation with energy flows, it is certain that due to the strategic location, there are several written wall objects at the top, which fall under the Ministry of the Interior. In addition to a number of wooden and seemingly abandoned houses, it is also a modern building with a number of antennas and a villa that belonged to the barbarian Otokar Kruli-Rand.
The wolves served as a kind of world of wolves, after the communist coup it was nationalized in favor of Sttn security. There was even one of the major points of the foreign radio signal, so today it serves the ministry as a Radiocommunication and Mic Center. The hill is then interwoven with underground corridors, which in the days when there used to be vineyards, served as cellars.
