Vyšehrad is closely associated with Czech legends, including Princess Libuše. Its documented history as a fortified settlement reaches back to the 10th century.
Perunika’s identity draws on Slavic mythology and Perun, the god of thunder. The atmosphere is our inspiration — an invitation to discover the area’s stories for yourself.
