Divoká Šárka

Divoká Šárka (Czech pronunciation: [ˈɟɪvokaː ˈʃaːrka]; wild Šárka) is a nature reserve on the northwestern outskirts of Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic.

Between the 7th and 9th centuries, there was a Slavic settlement above the Džbán gorge, consisting of an area of approximately twenty ha.

[citation needed] A gorge in the area is named after the female warrior Šárka, who, according to Ancient Bohemian Legends, threw herself to her death from its cliffs after betraying her lover Ctirad during the Maidens' War.

[2] Divoká Šárka is the closest location to Prague where the black woodpecker lives.
