Two towers and "Hungry wall", Prague, Petrin Hill
P1090370.JPG
The course is called "Playground on a Hungry Wall". The wall is also visible here. It was built by the emperor Charles IV as a fortification. 1360 - 1362. The wall is called hungry, because in 1361 there was such a nausea in Bohemia that famine came. Many poor have saved their lives by hiring themselves to build this wall.
(And we can see that we already have autumn in Prague.)
