Obora v Uhříněvsi, Natural monument and protected area in Prague, Czech Republic
Obora v Uhříněvsi is a protected natural area in Prague that combines forested sections with open grassland in a single coherent landscape. The site supports a range of local wildlife and plant life that flourishes in this mixture of habitats.
The area gained official protected status in 1982, becoming part of Prague's early conservation efforts in this region. This designation began a period of structured management to preserve the natural character of the land.
Local residents participate in geocaching activities throughout the preserve, with multiple caches leading visitors to discover natural and historical features.
The preserve can be reached through several access points connected to Prague's public transportation network for easy arrival. Walking and cycling paths wind through the grounds, letting visitors move between different sections at their own pace.
At the heart of the preserve stands an ancient oak tree that has been growing for centuries with an exceptionally wide trunk. This tree is one of the oldest living features of the site and draws regular attention from those who explore the grounds.
