The boat passes under the Mánes and Charles Bridges, enters the lock at Smíchov, and sails by Kampa Island and the Sova Mills. After the lock, the cruise continues past Kampa toward the Smíchov lock chamber. Once through, it sails toward Vyšehrad and then turns around near Štvanice Island, returning to the Čech Bridge.
