Vinořský park, Protected nature reserve in Vinoř, Czech Republic.
Vinořský park is a nature reserve in Vinoř with three ponds, several springs, and dense woodland areas. The site is bordered by sandstone cliffs with natural caves and niches, and the Vinořský stream flows through wet rocky ravines with old oaks, ashes, maples, and sticky alders.
The protected site began as a park created in the early 18th century by the Cerní family, who built stone bridges and planted massive trees. These original features remain and continue to shape the reserve's appearance.
The area holds traces of an old Slavic fortification and a place called Kamenný stůl with carved stone benches and alcoves set into the landscape. These features blend into the natural surroundings and show how ancient settlements were once part of this land.
You can reach the reserve by city bus routes 186, 259, or 375, or by train to Satalice station followed by the yellow hiking trail. Good footwear is advisable since paths cross wet and rocky areas throughout the site.
The reserve is known for its population of old oaks, ashes, and maples thriving in wet rocky ravines, forming an uncommon woodland ecosystem. This specialized vegetation makes the site botanically notable and sets it apart from typical forest areas in the region.
