Nusle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nusle is a district of Prague, created in 1922). Part of Nusle is in Prague 4 while the balance is in Prague 2. Nusle is located south of the city centre in Nuselské údolí (Nusle Valley) on the Botič. It borders Vyšehrad to the west, the New Town and Vinohrady to the north and Vršovice to the east. The southern part of Nusle, on a plain above the valley, is known as Pankrác.
A large bridge, Nuselský most (Nusle Bridge), reported to be one of the largest in the Czech Republic, connects the opposite sides of the valley. The bridge is 485 m long, 26.5 m wide and is 42.5 m above ground. Over 300 people have committed suicide by jumping from it since 1973[1], when the bridge was finished. The C subway line runs along the lower level of the bridge and Vyšehrad Station is at the southern end of the Bridge.
