Vyšehrad Fort

​Yes, another stand alone!  I never would have known about this place had I not watched the ‘Top 10 Things Not to Miss when Visiting Prague’ on YouTube!  I was grateful it was within walking distance of my hotel. I will post some information on the fort that was at the entrance. Surprisingly, this was free for all visitors! And not crowded with tourists at all. 😱



Can you see the moon?


How about now 🤓?  So lovely! 


And, as I have found is typical for forts and castles in Prague, they are all high up on hills!😂😂😂



But well worth the climb. 😊

There was a beautiful cemetery on the shady side of the historic church. It was fascinating to read of the people buried there, many dating back to the 1800’s. 


I believe this statue represents a mother and her daughter, who, according to the dates inscribed, died at three years of age. 😔

There were several random statues such as this scattered around the grounds. 


View from the fort 😊. 



When I was done wandering the grounds, I stopped into a small café on the campus of the fort and had potato dumplings stuffed with smoked ham, and a refreshing ‘still water’, along with a glass of a tasty Merlot 🍷.  


A fine end to a wonderful afternoon!
