In summer 2002 came to Prague (at Vltava river) one of the worst flood in a history. A center of the city was under water and water got in an underground too. Half of tunnels were completly full of water, some trains was drowned. Throught tunnels water got into parts of Prague, that were saved from flood, but u-stations were drowned - it is a story of this waymark. In station Vysocanska, when you go down by an escalator, you can see the high level mark (on the left side, lower part), that shows where water was in 2002.
