The rapids in the section of the Vltava between Štěchovice and Slapy, where the river flows through a deep rocky valley, were called the Svatojánské prostřed. The name comes from the Baroque statue of John of Nepomuk, a protector against water dangers. Since 1943, the area has been flooded by the Štěchovice reservoir.
