About this audio guide
This guide to Divoka Sarka in Prague retells the legend behind the gorge's name: a young warrior named Sarka, tied to a tree as bait during Bohemia's legendary Maidens' War against Bohemia's men. You'll hear how the warrior Ctirad found her weeping in this valley, untied her, and joined her for cups of mead. Follow the trail along the Sarka stream, past the steep rock faces below the cliffs, before the path climbs toward the gorge's high point.
