Sandstone, water and an 11th-century structure give Prosek three very different points of interest. Prosecké skály gives the nature theme a geological focus; Friendship Park represents landscape design shaped by water, while the Church of St. Wenceslas offers a specific connection to the area's history. When planning, you can focus on nature, a landscaped park or local history, depending on your interests.

Rocky landscapes and walks

Prosecké skály covers an area of 2.3264 hectares and consists of sandstone rock faces with natural and artificial caves, as well as remnants of warmth-loving flora. Within the Capital City of Prague, it extends across the cadastral areas of Libeň and Prosek. The site offers walks through romantic corners. Together, the sandstone, caves and warmth-loving flora give the walk a geological and botanical focus.

A circular trail linking several neighbourhoods

The I. Northwest Trail is a circular route connecting Vysočany, Prosek and Střížkov. For planning your day, it offers a different perspective from walks around Prosecké skály: you can choose between a route linking several neighbourhoods and an outing focused on the rocky landscape. This lets you decide whether to plan around the connection between named areas or around a nature theme.

Water as a park theme

Friendship Park was designed in the spirit of English landscape parks, with systems of water features and waterways as its main theme. A system of ponds and waterways, including a cascade and a ring fountain, extends for 400 metres. In contrast to the sandstone rock faces of Prosecké skály, the focus here is on designed landscapes and water features. The park therefore offers a different emphasis from an outing centred on the geological rocky landscape.

A historical landmark

The Church of St. Wenceslas in Prosek dates from the second half of the 11th century. For those interested in cultural history, it provides a clearly defined historical reference point and complements the nature and landscape themes with a named structure. If you are choosing experiences based on more than walks alone, this historical feature offers a distinct perspective on Prosek.

Prosek as a base for your stay

Prosek has a station on Prague Metro Line C. For planning trips by public transport, this is a specific point to consider when choosing an apartment. For a short stay, it can help to prioritise: check the metro connection and your planned destinations as separate points before choosing accommodation. This way, you can select your base to suit your personal travel plans.
