Karlachovy sady, Urban park in Vyšehrad district, Czech Republic
Karlachovy sady is a compact green space in the Vyšehrad district with sandy pathways bordered by hawthorn hedges and mixed tree varieties. The site sits at an elevated position and provides benches for visitors to rest and enjoy the surroundings.
