Chuchelský Háj Prague

Forgotten grove with minizoo

Martin from Prague

About me I was born in Prague and have lived here my entire life. I finished college a couple of months ago, so right now my life is full of new. I work as a doctor in a hospital and that takes up a lot of my time. When I have a free time I try to relax myself in different ways – playing with my jazz band, learning languages, drawing with oil paints, taking photos and especially getting to k...
""Chuchelský Háj" in Prague is a small grove I discovered by accident. There is a minizoo there with mouflon, deer, polar foxes, talking ravens..."

Prague is full of squares and parks, but one time I was looking for a place with more "nature" where I could go for a walk, and I found Chuchelský háj (Chuchle grove). I went there with no idea as to what I could find there and it astonished me to discover this beautiful spot. Just five minutes from Smíchovské nádraží by bus I found myself following a yellow touristic trail and walking up the hill. Even though I was short of breath I had to enjoy the surroundings.

Half an hour later I discovered a Minizoo with mouflon, deer, a polar fox, lynx, talking ravens, etc., which is worth visiting and it is for free. There is a kiosk in the area and because I needed some refreshment after the climb I stopped there. After that I wandered through the forest and finally I found kostel sv. Jana Nepomuckého (st. Jan Nepomucký church) with a great view of Prague.

About me I was born in Prague and have lived here my entire life. I finished college a couple of months ago, so right now my life is full of new.

When I have a free time I try to relax myself in different ways – playing with my jazz band, learning languages, drawing with oil paints, taking photos and especially getting to know new interesting places. Why Prague? Prague can be loved because of a lot of things. I love the tiny little streets in the city centre which always lead you somewhere you've neve...
