Sunday Hike

Hello Friends and fellow Walkers!

Let's get together to catch some fresh air and explore some fascinating scenery.

This time, we are heading to the south-western edge of Prague to discover a route full of contrasts. We will meet at Karlovo náměstí and take a short tram ride together to our starting point. Our journey will kickoff by the fields, leading us throught a picturesque old village, a bit of rugged urban wilderness and then pass thru a hidden forest mini-zoo. From there, we will emerge into the glamorous Czech cinema history as we will pass by the famous Barrandov Film Studios. A neighbourhood with truly marvelous villas and some breathtaking views from Barrandov Terraces will follow. We will finish back at civilization at the Hlubočepy tram stop.

Important Details:

Meeting point: Karlovo náměstí by the Statue of Eliška Krásnohorská (see map below)
Distance: Approx. 9 km.
Terrain: Expect paved and unpaved paths with an elevation gain of about 180m and 330m decline. It can get a bit muddy and "wild" in some parts depending on weather.
Gear: Please wear sturdy, comfortable walking shoes. Bring a snack, plenty of tea/water and warm clothes.
Punctuality: To respect everyone's time, we move out exactly 5 minutes after the meeting time. Please make sure to arrive on time (the tram will be on time too :).
Contribution: There is a small 50 CZK fee to help cover the Meetup subscription (payable on-site via QR code or cash).

After the hike: There is no pub directly at the final stop, but we can head togehter towards Smíchov or back to Karlovo náměstí for a well-deserved drink/food and a chat for those who want to join!

This hike is a cool combination of raw urban wilderness and truly fascinating sights. I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday!
