What is it?
Forty-five minutes to an hour on public transport from the city center will take you into the gorgeous natural beauty of the outdoors, often referred to in direct translation from Czech as “the nature”. Two open-air swimming pools and a children’s wading pool draw residents seeking a refreshing dip in a landlocked country during the summer months – head northwest into the park from the Divoká Šárka bus stop and follow the stream to find them.
Is it worth visiting?
With sloping hills and rocky cliffs converging around a small gorge, this diverse landscape is perfect for gentle hiking through blooming flowers in the spring or watching multi-colored leaves change hues in autumn.
Time Out tip
Czech hiking style is punctuated with stops at the pub, so there are restaurants and refreshment scattered throughout the area.
