The paper deals with the description of the network of historic paths and their development in the surroundings of the confluence of the Vltava and Berounka rivers. A forgotten stone bridge situated over the village of Lipence which has no links with any medieval or older long-distance paths was used as a starting point. The bridge represents an interesting detail in the history of traffic in the southern Prague district which can help us uncover a broader context of the development of long-distance paths and transport infrastructure.
