Libeňský zámek

Since 1848, this castle has served as a hospital and an educational institute for morally depraved youths. After WWII, the castle was the seat of the County National Board, while at present the Office of Prague 8 Municipality is based there. The chapel and ceremonial chamber are open throughout the year to the public during different social events, e.g. The Night of Literature, the Night of Churches, the Castle Haunt. (Source: mapy.cz)

Ca 750 meters from the Eurovelo 4 cycle route, there is a bobsleigh track. Bobsleighs move within a free channel, giving a greater adrenaline rush in comparison with rail tracks. This track is accessible from Prosecká Street (restaurant next to the street). Next to the bobsleigh track, there is a restaurant and cycle repair shop.

park podviní

This park was created in 1997–98, partially in the area where the original castle garden stood. Older rare flora and trees were used here and some small lakes/ponds were cre-ated. A unique feature is the Celtic hill-fort with passages, tunnels and a view over Dragon Lake. Furthermore, you can find an overturned oak trunk here, an amphitheatre, a garden house and some small lakes with abundant vegetation. (Source: mapy.cz)

chvaLský zámek

The first references come from the beginning of the 15th century, when the construction was mentioned as a fortified house. The Jesuit Order reconstructed it and the castle got its renaissance look. The castle’s present-day look comes from the early baroque reconstruction. In 1950, the courtyard and the castle were transferred under the “Československé státní statky” (Cz. state assets) organisation, set by the state. In 1992, the Chvaly Castle was in a state of disrepair and efforts to save it were initiated with success. These days, the castle premises serve as a gallery. It’s open to the public and can be rented for congresses, lectures, marriages and other celebrations.(Source: chvalskyzamek.cz)

after couple of decades. The river flood plain was revitalized in 2008 and so the dry Čihadla polder was created. Water is kept here thanks to artificial flood plain lobes, meaning it has become home to many amphibians and small vertebrates. People learned how to make rivers straight and con-struct artificial river channels to get agricultural land. However, the natural habitats of many animals, living in pools and wetlands were destroyed. But these days we are returning back to the creation of flood plain lobes and leave their wild nature and animal varieties untouched.

eurovelo is a network of long distance cycle routes, connecting European countries and reaching beyond the continent. Routes are marked according to the methodology of the respective state with the eurovelo sign added, consisting of a number (route sequence number) in a blue field, surrounded by twelve yellow stars. Altogether, 15 routes are marked in Europe. More information about the project can be found here: www.eurovelo.com.

the eurovelo 4 route is called the central european route. In principle, the existing long-distance and regional routes of the respective countries are used, so there is no need to construct new cycle routes, in turn preserving the ecological nature of the project. Information about the other Czech Eurovelo routes is available at: www.cyklistevitani.cz or www.eurovelo.cz.

Coordination of the development and promotion of these routes is carried out by the environmental partnership Foundation. Foundation also provides a “cyclists Welcome” certificate for participants (accommodation and rations) and some tourist targets, helping to pro-vide the basic needs of cyclists.

In Prague, the Magistrate is taking care of the promotion of long distance routes and infrastructure construction with the project eco-transportation through prague. The project objective is to support sustainable traffic behaviour in Prague. More at: www.cistoustopou.cz

Bikes may be transported on mass transit, free of any special additional fee in the subway, on trains, certain tram lines, ferries and cable-cars. More information can be found here: pid.cz/prakticke-informace/cykliste-v-pid/.

Prague is not only a place where you can find the most important Czech monuments, but also a place of many nice natural places. Prague is home to many parks, game-parks, meadows, rocky formations and ponds. Water areas are typical in Prague’s suburbs, so after leaving the grey blocks of flats it’s possible you will find yourself between ponds and streams, where water birds nest and fish and other amphibians live. One such example is in the natural reservation “V Pískovně”. We recommend a stay in Dolní Počernice and after deviating from the route in Národních Hrdinů Street, you will come to the Počernice pond and castle. Although Počernice Castle is not open to the public, its park is worth a visit. In the Počernice part, you can find refreshment in Panský courtyard, where you can choose between the Počernický pivovar, the stylish Léta Páně restaurant or the Al Mulino pizzeria with the ‘Cyclists Welcome’ certification. The Na Kempu restaurant has this certification as well. On this route, you will also ride through a rare biotope, where life returned again

ith allegoric 17. figure of Prague in the middle, directed to

the river. This fountain was very controversial at the tim

e of its crea-tion as w

ell as after the formation of Czechoslovakia in 1919, w

hen the public w

as very critical towards the H

absburg monarchy. N

ow,

this fountain is seen as a valuable art work from

the 18th century. (Source: w

The National Theatre, also know

n as the Golden Chapel due to its

golden roof, is the symbol of Czech culture and national revival.

It was cerem

onially opened in 1881. In the same year, a big fire

damaged a large part of the theatre. This unhappy event becam

e a national tragedy. Thanks to solidarity, funds for the reconstruction w

ere collected and it was reopened in 1883 again w

ith the music of

Smetana’s opera - Libuše. This building is a national cultural m

onu-m

ent and any performance is a big event for every Czech. (Source:

Route descriptionInitial position: zoo praha parking (troja castle)

A trip to Troja is interesting not only for cyclists, but also for all Prague citizens. You’ll find the zoo, botanic garden and troja castle here. So you can spend the w

hole day here and you may not be able

to visit everything offered by Troja. The road from

EuroVelo 4 cycle route to Troja starts in Libeň port, going over a footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists. If you w

ant to walk to Troja, enjoy the peaceful route

around Vltava River. How

ever, it’s worth saving tim

e to visit the zoo w

ith the Cyclists Welcom

e certificate, w

hich means you m

ay park your bike behind the zoo gate in a m

etal bike stand. The Botanic garden of-fers an outside exposition of flow

ers, herbs, bushes and trees. M

oreover, you can see the Fata Morgana

glasshouse exposition and the St. Claire vineyard, producing light table w

ines that may be tasted di-

rectly in the vineyard with a unique view

of Prague.

zoo

praha

If you travel on Eurovelo 4 you’ll enjoy the view

of Hradčany and see the red m

etronome in Letná,

demonstrating to Prague citizens that tim

e flows for

everyone at the same pace. H

owever, you don’t just

have to watch the left bank of the Vltava, you can

travel there by bike! This route is a more difficult one

as you have to ascend to the Letná Plain or to Petřín (depends on the direction you choose), w

here an untrained cyclist could w

ork up a sweat. This route

is a relatively tricky one as the most beautiful places

don’t lie directly there. Instead, you have to deviate all the tim

e a little, so always check the places on

the map, w

here a deviation to an interesting place or view

is specified. The Queen Anne sum

mer resi-

dence with the Signing Fountain and the Prague

Castle area will rem

ain prohibited as they are not open for cyclists. H

radčany Square is free for cyclists, so you can only see the 1st courtyard guarded by castle guards. The circuit runs also around the Stra-hov cloister, offering the Strahov gallery exposition and Strahov library, open to the public for the entire year. You can’t m

iss the petřín tower and m

irror labyrinth as w

ell. The tourist circuit runs by the most

important Prague sights, w

hich means that cyclists

are not allowed in som

e of them and you should

be careful about pedestrians. This route is valuable m

ainly because of the impressive view

s from Letná,

Chotek Gardens, H

radčany Square and Petřín Gar-

dens.

Vyšehrad is one of the most im

portant and most

attractive places not only in Prague, but within the

entire EV4 cycle route. Its elevated position allows

you to see busy Prague life. How

ever, to get onto Vyšehrad can be pretty difficult for m

any cyclists due to the ascent up the hill. W

e recomm

end going to Vyšehrad from

the Rašín riverbank, then down Vrati-

slavova Street to Brick Gate, w

here you need to get off your bike as you cannot cycle in the Vyšehrad prem

ises. You’ll go near the Church of the St. John the Baptist and tow

ards the Rotunda of St. Martin.

The real jewel is the basilica of st. peter and paul,

one of the main Czech N

ew G

othic monum

ents. You should not m

iss Vyšehrad cemetery, w

here impor-

tant Czech personalities rest. In case you make this

trip in the summ

er, you may visit the sum

mer scene

in Vyšehrad with a dram

atic program from

May to

September. The area around Vyšehrad is attractive

for relaxation and contemplation, strong w

ith the atm

osphere of old Czech history. From Vyšehrad,

you can then proceed through the Congress centre to the N

usle Bridge and after a short while you’ll

come to Folim

anka park. From there, you’ll easily

get back to the Rašín riverbank, where you started

this journey.

people on roller skates and runners. In the summ

er months, it’s very busy and passing betw

een skaters and m

oms w

ith prams is a challenge for cyclists. W

e suggest an alternative - the route through H

odkovičky, Lhotka, Kamýk and M

odřany. The cycle route leading along the Vltava of-fers a variety of attractions and sporting opportunities: footbal golf (or…”m

ove the footbal ball into a hole”), rope clim

bing centre, scooter rental, beach volleyball, etc. The deviation route to H

odkovičky is peaceful, outside of the main vacationers’ routes. The H

odkovičky – Lhotka route does not offer any grandiose attraction. It’s a quiet section, com

bining a cycling route w

ith peaceful streets. Pay increased attention in particular when crossing to the M

odřany val-ley, w

here it’s necessary to pass through busy streets: Mariánská, U

Kamýku and D

urychova. You’ll get to the M

odřany valley pretty easily, this route is well m

arked. The important part is

the Modřany valley itself, w

here an educational route with nature topics is prepared. This route

is mainly for parents w

ith children, where m

ost of the stops are equipped with the identifica-

tion of plants, animals and rocks. A properly prepared educational route catches the attention

of adults as well. M

odřany valley is a place worth visiting, w

here in a mom

ent you’ll find your-self betw

een the trees and rocks, listening to the Libuše stream in the background, so for a

mom

ent you’ll actually forget that you’re in Prague. The route descends to Modřany relatively

quickly, where it is follow

ed by the well-know

n A2 cycle route around Vltava.

This tourist circuit combines the Prokop Valley w

ith Chuchle G

rove, which form

part of the precious natural Prague ar-eas. These areas serve m

ainly for relaxation, so don’t expect any cultural events here. O

ne interesting part is the prague sem

mering train viaduct, w

hich you can enjoy the most as

a train passenger using railway track N

o. 122. Prokop Valley is a deep river valley w

ith Devonian and Silurian lim

estone. There are the residues of therm

ophilic woods, old lim

estone quarries and m

eadows that previously served as grazing

land. You can find here an outdoor gym, public fireplaces

and comfortable taverns w

ith refreshment. The entire natu-

ral reservation has one huge advantage – it’s not as well-

known as the other natural beauties of Prague, therefore you

won’t find a large num

ber of visitors here and it’s relatively peaceful. Travelling betw

een the Prokop Valley and Chuchle G

rove is not that attractive as you have to travel through the Barrandov housing estate and the A 112 cycle route w

ith unpaved terrain. In the Chuchle G

rove, you can visit the malá

chuchle zoo corner with injured anim

als that are unable to return to nature. You’ll find birds and sm

all predators here. You shouldn’t m

iss the church of st. john nepom

uk with

a scenic view of the river. In Chuchle G

rove, there is also an educational route focused not just on natural science topics, but it also inform

s you of historical buildings and activities w

ithin the area of Velká and Malá Chuchle. If you choose this

circuit, you’ll be amazed. But prepare for a tougher ascent

up the hill in Velká Chuchle or Klukovice (depends on your direction).
