This romantic cruise into the fairy-tale corners of Prague's Devil's Channel departs from Čech Bridge. As a result, you'll see both Vltava panoramas and the picturesque corners of the river's blind arm during a single cruise.
As in days long past, you'll sail past beautiful old houses and hear the clatter of a turning mill wheel. The regular cruise into the Devil's Channel is operated on the new eco-friendly boat Elvíra, the boat Mistr Jan Hus, or, alternatively, on small mahogany boats or the solar boat Elektronemo.

About the cruise
The Devil's Channel (Čertovka) is the name of a blind arm of the Vltava — a former mill race that today forms the natural boundary between Malá Strana and Kampa Island. The name Čertovka (literally "She-Devil") was first given in the 19th century — after a woman with a devilish temper who lived nearby.
In winter or in case of bad weather, the enclosed and heated boat Elektronemo sails. Depending on water level conditions, the entry into the channel may not be possible.
