Veslařský ostrov, River island in Podolí, Czech Republic
Located along the right bank of the Vltava River, Veslařský Island connects to the mainland through a concrete bridge near Podolská waterworks.
During the 15th century, the island formed naturally through sand accumulation caused by ice blockages, and later expanded when a cargo ship was deliberately sunk.
The island transformed from a timber storage facility with a raft port owned by the Schwarzenberg family into a water sports center for Prague residents.
Multiple boat houses and sports facilities on the island provide opportunities for rowing, canoeing, and sailing activities throughout the warm season.
The southernmost island of Prague serves as a water collection point for the neighboring Podolská water treatment facility through specialized infrastructure.
