Čertovka
The Čertovka (Devil's Canal), sometimes also called Little Prague Venice in English, is a canal in Prague, the Czech Republic.

The Čertovka
The canal is situated in the Lesser Quarter (Malá Strana). The Čertovka takes its water from the Vltava and after 740 m it flows back into that river. There are several medieval mills along its course. The canal was probably built in the 12th century by the Order of the Knights of Malta,[1] who added a portion of land to the right and created an island called Kampa.
