Up to the Bridge by Ladder

Na Kampě

Historically
schody z Kampy na Karlův most
Period
1784–1844
Told by
Václav Krolmus

Krolmus's chronicle of all the floods relates of the flood of 1784: from the island of Kampa, which then had no steps at all, the people climbed up to the bridge by ladders. This gave occasion and showed the need for steps at that place in time of flood — and in that course of events they were built in 1785, and in 1844 were rebuilt with a double flight, more convenient and more complete.
