THE SECRET GARDEN

It was a secret until it a Korean soap opera used the location and then the city started putting it on its maps and with cameras having GSM coordinates built in the secret is no more. The reality is this is a wonderful place to have a portrait captured or to sit back and watch the sunrise and perhaps the sunset. Showing the castle on the left and the city and especially Mala Strana down below Socha Panny Marie z Exilu is a rare gem and has a distinct place in the heart of many people who live and love this special part of the city.
