Milíčovský vrch, Artificial hill in Újezd, Prague, Czech Republic
Milíčovský vrch is a hill in Prague that rises between the Háje residential district and Milíčovský forest. The location features multiple walking paths and green spaces for visitors from the surrounding area.
The hill formed in the late 1970s from excavated materials generated during construction of metro line C and the Háje housing development. This origin made it a byproduct of Prague's urban expansion.
The hill is part of the Botič–Milíčov nature park, though not of the Milíčovský les a rybníky nature reserve. A green hiking trail from Kateřinky runs through the forest south of the hill to Křeslice, and cycle route A216 passes along its northern foot.
The area is accessible from nearby residential zones, with parking available near Opatov station. Several walking paths lead upward and suit visitors of different abilities.
At the northeastern foot of the hill, people buried their dead dogs in an illegal pet cemetery of unknown origin. In late 2007 the Prague 11 district office ordered its removal: it stood on municipal land and did not meet the veterinary law's conditions for burying animals.
