Prokop valley, Nature reserve and paleontological site in Prague 5, Czech Republic.
The reserve spans 170 hectares of limestone terrain with caves, streams, and steep cliffs in southwestern Prague, near the districts of Barrandov and Hlubočepy.
The area contains settlements from the Stone Age, with archaeological evidence of the Řivnáč culture dating back to 3000 BC on the Butovice plateau.
The valley received its name from Saint Prokop, connected to the Sázava monastery foundation in the 11th century, who lived as a hermit in one of the caves.
Visitors can access the reserve through Hlubočepy railway station or take a 1.2-kilometer walk from the tram stop to explore marked hiking trails.
The limestone caves yielded ice age relics including mammoth bones, cave bear remains, and a human skull, alongside numerous trilobite fossils.
