Jesper & tp bros., happy hunting!
I have come from Prague last week. This is no difficult task, although I have never even consider it as an option! If you buy a map of Prague that covers pretty much the entire district, the administrative divisions are marked on the map. Prague has 10 adm. divisions. Most of the tripoints between the adm. divisions are found in the center of the city. Prague 1, 2 and 3 are the oldest parts of the city, but as the city grew, there has been a change in adm. division. Many small villages have been slowly taken by the expanding city and thus the catastre borders changed. Today, f. ex. Prague 10 consists of some 10-11 villages that in 1970 were administratively outside the capital.
F- ex. the tripoint between Prague 1, 5 and 6 is situated in the close vicinity to the Eiffel-like tower of Petrin. The tripoint between Prague 1, 6 and 7 is situated just couple of hundereds metres north of the Prague castle where Chotkova and Badeniho streets meet. The tripoint between Prague 1, 2, and 5 is placed midway on the Jiraskuv bridge. The tripoint between Prague 1, 7 and 8 is also on the bridge, this time on the Havkuv bridge midway over the channel of Vltava that separates the island of Stvanice (being a Prague 7) and the right bank of the river Vltava. Then, almost a quadripoint. In the area of Masaryk railway station, there where the Wilson and Husitska street meet, the first tripoint between Prague 1, 2 and 8 is on the left side of the Wilson street (from the direction of the main railway station), then on the right side of the same street, there where Husitska street begins is the tripoint of Prague 2, 3 and 8. Then, the tripoint between Prague 2, 3 and 10 is where the streets Korunni meets Slavikova. The tripoint between Prague 2, 4 and 10 is on Otakarova street right after the railway bridge on the southern side. The tripoint between Prague 2, 4 and 5 is a wet one south of the Vysehrad. The tripoint between Prague 3, 8 and 9 is situated by the railway, close to the Novovysocanska street, but in an industrial area. The last tripoint is found close to the Ceskobrodska street in the area of woods and fields.
 
So, good luck! :-)

CEBT is starting from Prague, and I was wondering if any of you know the administrative divisions in Prague.
