Prague, Golden Lane and Daliborka - Czech Republic 4K Travel Channel
In the north-eastern corner of Prague Castle lies the Golden Lane. The visit requires special admission Here, Rudolf II employed alchemists who should produce gold and the Philosopher's Stone in their laboratories. Under Rudolf III, the castle guards lived here.
In the 19th century, it was a residential area for poor people. From 1916 to 1917, Franz Kafka lived and worked in house No. 22. Presumably, the medieval surroundings inspired him to his imaginations.
The houses in the Golden Lane form a permanent exhibition today. They are partial set up as craftsman workshops and sometimes as residential buildings. The space available was very modest.
Via a narrow staircase, we reach the upper floor. Here on the wall-walk of the castle wall, one displays armors and weapons.
The Daliborka Tower limits the Golden Lane in the east. It used to be a notorious prison where torture took place. The name probably derives from the first inmate Dalibor of Kozojedy, who was also executed here. One accused him of acquiring foreign property. After the Hussite wars, the subordinates of Adam Ploskovský of Drahonice refused to do any more drudgery under their previous lord and joined Daliborka. This was the reason for his conviction.
A steep staircase leads to a basement with the prison. Today, 4 cells are open to the public. Underneath there is a dungeon with some torture devices on display. In the middle of the room is a hole that leads to another even deeper dungeon. The prisoners were brought there by a metal crane.
Back in the open, we enjoy the beautiful view over Prague, the Charles Bridge, and the Wallenstein Palace.
Arriving at the bank of the Vltava River, we take the tram and drive back to our hotel.

Im nordöstlichen Eck der Prager Burg liegt das goldene Gässchen. Für die Besichtigung wird spezieller Eintritt verlangt.
Rudolf II beschäftigte hier Alchimisten, die Gold und den Stein der Weisen in ihren Labors schaffen sollten. Unter Rudolf III lebten hier die Burgwachen.
Im 19. Jahrhundert war sie ein Wohngebiet für arme Leute. In den Jahren 1916 und 1917 lebte im Haus Nr. 22 Franz Kafka und arbeitete an seinen Werken. Vermutlich hat ihn die mittelalterliche Umgebung zu seinen Fantasien inspiriert.
Die Häuser im goldenen Gässchen bilden heute eine Dauerausstellung und sind teilweise als Handwerker-Werkstätten eingerichtet und teilweise als Wohnhäuser. Das Raumangebot war schon sehr bescheiden.
Über eine schmale Treppe erreichen wir im Obergeschoss den Wehrgang an der Burgmauer, in dem Rüstungen und Waffen ausgestellt sind.
Der Daliborka Turm begrenzt das goldene Gässchen im Osten. Einst war es ein berüchtigtes Gefängnis in dem auch gefoltert wurde. Er ist nach seinem vermutlich ersten Insassen Dalibor von Kozojedy benannt, der hier auch hingerichtet wurde. Er wurde beschuldigt sich fremdes Eigentum angeeignet zu haben. Untergebene von Adam Ploskovský von Drahonice verweigerten nach den Hussitenkriegen weitere Fronarbeit unter ihrem bisherigen Herren und schlossen sich freiwillig Daliborka an. Dafür wurde er verurteilt.
Über eine steile Treppe kommt man in ein Untergeschoss in dem sich das Gefängnis befindet. 4 Zellen können heute noch besichtigt werden. Darunter ist ein Verlies in dem einige Foltergeräte ausgestellt sind. In der Mitte des Raumes ist ein Loch, das zu einem weiteren noch tieferen Verlies führt. Mit einem metallenen Kran konnten die Gefangen dorthin verbracht werden.
Zurück im Freien erfreuen wir uns am schönen Ausblick über Prag und auf die Karlsbrücke und das Palais Waldstein, besser bekannt als Wallensteinpalais.
Am Ufer der Moldau angekommen, nehmen wir die Straßenbahn und fahren zurück zu unserem Hotel.

This Time It's My Life by MICAR.
“The streets of Prague were a fantasia scarcely touched by the twenty-first century—or the twentieth or nineteenth, for that matter. It was a city of alchemists and dreamers, its medieval cobbles once trod by golems, mystics, invading armies. Tall houses glowed goldenrod and carmine and eggshell blue, embellished with Rococo plasterwork and capped in roofs of uniform red. Baroque cupolas were the soft green of antique copper, and Gothic steeples stood ready to impale fallen angels. The wind carried the memory of magic, revolution, violins, and the cobbled lanes meandered like creeks. Thugs wore Motzart wigs and pushed chamber music on street corners, and marionettes hung in windows, making the whole city seem like a theater with unseen puppeteers crouched behind velvet.”
― Laini Taylor
McGee's Ghost Tours of Prague - Ghosts & Legends of Old Town 2011
This tour ( takes you away from the bustle of the Old Town Square to explore the twisting lanes and cobbled alleys full of the ghost stories and legends from the Old Town. You'll visit the site of the Knights Templar's headquarters in Prague, hear about alchemy, murder, curses, executions, the restless spirits still said to wander the narrow streets of the Old Town, and the dark secrets behind the famous astronomical clock. You'll also get an introduction to the science of the paranormal, and a chance to feel the energies left behind by the city's gruesome and tragic past.
No one will jump out at you to try and scare you. We let the stories speak for themselves. This is a tour for sceptics and believers alike, or those who want to experience a different side of Prague from the regular historical tours. These are not made-up stories but real legends from Prague's history. It is, after all, one of the most haunted cities in the world!
A suitable addition to this tour in particular is our 30 Minute Underground Walk, which will take you into the chambers below the Old Town Hall. You'll learn about the paranormal, about the unique energies present in that location, hear some of the bizarre occurrences there, and perhaps even encounter something yourself!
