Čimické údolí, Natural monument in Prague, Czech Republic
Čimické údolí is a protected valley in Prague with exposed rock formations and wooded slopes along the Čimice Stream. Limestone deposits shape the landscape and create varied habitats for different species.
The valley was protected in 1968 and holds archaeological significance, showing evidence of human settlement from ancient times through the early Middle Ages. Finds suggest people used this place for nearly 1000 years.
The valley was once home to Slavic settlements whose remains you can still find today. These archaeological traces show how people lived here across several centuries.
Several trails run through the valley and allow you to observe nature closely. Wear good footwear as the paths are hilly and the ground can be uneven.
The south-facing cliffs host rare steppe plants and protected species like pasque flowers that thrive in this unusual urban habitat. This combination of rock and rare plants is rarely found in the middle of a city.
