25.10.2023
There are a number of places on the outskirts of Prague that make you forget you are officially still within the boundaries of the capital city – picturesque dales cut through by brooks; farmland with untilled margins and solitary trees; hamlets and villages. One such place is the area around Hájek u Uhříněvsi, a municipality on the eastern edge of Prague. You’ll be drawn there by the latest educational trail built by the Czech Union For Nature Conservation (ČSOP) within the NET4GAS Closer to Nature programme. It was presented to the general public during a festive ceremony.
