Bridges over the Čertovka, Bridges over a canal in Malá Strana, Prague, Czechia

The bridges over Čertovka comprise one footbridge and five small bridges crossing the canal between Malá Strana and Kampa Island in Prague. They include a wooden footbridge on two steel beams at Huť mill, a 7-metre plastered single-arch bridge with coloured keystones, and a 20.5-metre two-arch stone bridge by Velkopřevorský mlýn, the oldest of the crossings.

The oldest bridge over the Čertovka is the two-arch stone bridge by the Velkopřevorský Mill, listed as V-018, which forms part of the mill's weir and millrace. In the late 19th century Jindřich Jechenthal planned to extend the Malostranské nábřeží across Kampa, a scheme repeated in a 1910 plan but never built. In the first two decades of the 20th century the Club for Old Prague helped prevent the canal being filled in.

The crossings provide access to residential buildings and craft workshops that have shaped daily life along the waterway for centuries. Local residents use these paths regularly to reach homes and businesses on either side.

The best access is via Metro Line A to Malostranská station, from where the bridges are a short walk away. The paths around the canal are easy to explore on foot and offer views of the surrounding architecture.

The bridge by the Velkopřevorský mlýn, known as the Bridge of Lovers, carries a tradition borrowed from Rome's Milvian Bridge via Federico Moccia's novel "I Want You": couples write their names on a padlock, lock it to the railing and throw the key into the water. A few locks hung here in 2008; by 2011 there was almost no room left.
