Discover Prosek: Trails, Rock Landscape and History

Prosek offers several distinct local features to consider when choosing a hotel: a circular trail, walks through a rock landscape, a park with designed waterways, and an 11th-century church. These themes appeal to different interests and give you concrete ways to shape the character of your stay. Consider whether you would like to focus more on trails, landscape, park design or cultural history during your stay.

Trails and walks

The I. Northwest Trail forms a circular route connecting Vysočany, Prosek and Střížkov. This makes it a specific point of reference if you would like to include a loop linking three named areas in your plans. Prosecké skály offer a different focus: the area is known for walks through romantic nooks. These are two distinct options—the trail links three places, while Prosecké skály offer walks in the area. When looking for a hotel, consider which of these excursion options best suits your plans.

Rock landscape and park design

Prosecké skály are sandstone rock walls covering an area of 2.3264 hectares in the territory of the capital city of Prague. They extend across the cadastral areas of Libeň and Prosek. The landscape includes natural and artificial caves, as well as remnants of thermophilic flora. Prosecké skály is therefore a rocky natural area spanning the cadastral areas of Libeň and Prosek.

Přátelství Park was laid out in the spirit of English landscape parks; its main feature is a system of bodies of water and waterways. A 400-metre-long system comprises ponds and waterways, a cascade and a ring fountain. The park’s design draws attention to the interplay of its constructed water features, while Prosecké skály is characterized by sandstone, caves and flora. This makes it possible to choose between a designed landscape theme and a rocky landscape based on your interests. If you find constructed water features appealing, the park offers a clear point of reference; if you are more interested in rock formations and caves, Prosecké skály takes centre stage.

History and getting around

The Church of St. Wenceslas in Prosek dates from the second half of the 11th century. This date provides a specific cultural and historical reference if you would also like to understand a place through its history. It adds an independent historical aspect to the natural and park themes. As you search, consider whether the history of the church building is as important to your trip as trails and landscape.

Prosek has a station on Prague Metro Line C. If you include public transport in your daily plans, you can take this specific transport connection into account when choosing the area. Also check the location details for each hotel offer and compare them with your own plans. This allows you to consider the area’s transport connections and the location of the individual hotel separately when making your decision.
