English to Czech translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / Winnie the Pooh

English term or phrase: Galleon's Lap

What's the standard Czech Translation of Galleon's Lap from Winnie the Pooh?

It's referenced in something I'm translating and I don't have a copy of the Czech version of the book.

Czech translation:„Na jezírku“

Explanation:
Including the quotes and capital N, at least in the edition we have at home.
- if you mean the area "on the very top of the Forest", as I deduce from here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashdown_Forest

"Our" edition is from 1972, the translation made by Hana Skoumalová.

According to this page -
http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medvídek_Pú#Publikace_v_.C4.8Ce... - H. Skoumalová translated also other editions. Assumably there would be no difference for this word, but who knows.

Kouzelné (čarovné ) místo

There is a place at the very top of the Forest called Galleon's Lap where there are 63 or 64 trees in a great circle. Inside the circle of trees is a floor of comfortable close-set grass which is smooth and green. This quiet area is the Enchanted Place.
