🗺️ Our Journey: Three Hills, Three Legends
📍 1st Stop: PROKOPSKÉ ÚDOLÍ – Prague’s Wild Canyon
🚆 Short 20-minute train ride from Hlavní Nádraží to Hlubočepy
We begin our adventure in Prokopské údolí, a hidden natural canyon just outside Prague’s city center. With its dramatic rock formations, mysterious caves, and prehistoric fossils, this area feels like a different world, yet it’s only minutes away from the city.
🔹 What we’ll explore:
✅ Towering limestone cliffs and deep forests
✅ Prehistoric fossils dating back millions of years
✅ The legend of Saint Prokop – the hermit who fought demons in this very valley
✨ Did you know? Prokopské údolí was once covered by a prehistoric sea! Fossils found in the limestone prove that ancient marine life swam here long before Prague even existed.
🚆 20-minute ride to Vyšehrad
📍 2nd Stop: VYŠEHRAD – The Spiritual Rock of Prague 🏰⛪
From the untamed beauty of Prokopské údolí, we make our way to Vyšehrad, one of Prague’s oldest and most legendary sites.
This is where Prague’s story begins—where the mythical princess Libuše stood and prophesized the birth of the city, saying:
🔮 "I see a great city whose glory will touch the stars."
🔹 What we’ll explore:
✅ The Vyšehrad Fortress Walls – once an unbreakable military stronghold
✅ The Basilica of St. Peter and Paul – a Gothic masterpiece above the river
✅ The Vyšehrad Cemetery – resting place of Czech legends, including composer Bedřich Smetana and writer Karel Čapek
✅ Devil’s Column – a mysterious stone monument linked to an old Czech legend
✨ Did you know? Vyšehrad is considered one of the most magical places in Prague, filled with hidden tunnels, underground ruins, and ancient myths.
🍽️ Lunch Break at Vyšehrad – 30 minutes
- Enjoy a relaxing lunch inside the fortress, with stunning views over Prague and the Vltava River.
- Optional: Try a traditional Czech klobása (grilled sausage) or a local beer from a nearby café.
🚇 20-minute metro & tram ride to Letná Hill
📍 3rd Stop: LETNÁ METRONOME – The Hill of Time & Revolution ⏳🌉
🚋 Arriving at Letná, followed by a short hike up the hill
Our final stop takes us to Letná Hill, where Prague’s past, present, and future collide.
Once home to a massive statue of Stalin, the hill now hosts the Letná Metronome, a symbol of time, change, and revolution.
🔹 What we’ll experience:
✅ The best panoramic view of Prague – stretching across Charles Bridge, Old Town, and beyond
✨ Did you know? The Letná Metronome stands exactly where a giant Stalin statue once loomed over Prague—a chilling reminder of the city’s Communist past. Today, it symbolizes how time moves forward, even after the darkest times.
