Geocache Description:

THE ABOVE CO-ORDINATES ARE RANDOM.

A cache at the side of a road with parking for a couple of vehicles.

You will find the co-ordinates by carrying out a search of Prague from your armchair.

Visit the linked page (FOUND TOWARDS TOP OF THIS PAGE) and find the below described items on the 360 degree photograph. You can zoom in and out and also open up a map from the web-site.
You may need to translate some of the words, and also be quite patient.
