Přírodní park Prokopské a Dalejské údolí, Nature park in southwestern Prague, Czech Republic
Přírodní park Prokopské a Dalejské údolí is a protected nature park in Prague stretching along the Prokopské and Dalejské valleys from Řeporyje to Hlubočepy. Within it lie the Ctirad and Opatřilka - Červený Lom natural monuments, the Prokopské údolí nature reserve, and the U Nového mlýna, Dalejský profil and Požáry national natural monuments.
The park was first declared in 1982 as Prokopské údolí, Prague's first nature park, covering 626 hectares. In July 1993 it was re-declared under its present name with an area of 652.5 hectares. It runs through the Prokopské and Dalejské valleys from Řeporyje to Hlubočepy and holds the Ctirad and Opatřilka - Červený Lom monuments, the Prokopské údolí reserve, and the U Nového mlýna, Dalejský profil and Požáry national monuments.
The park's name comes from the Prokop and Daleje valleys it follows, running from Řeporyje to Hlubočepy. The Prokopský quarry and the Dobrá Voda site in the Daleje valley are named in the sources; both lie within the protected area alongside the Prokopské údolí reserve.
Multiple marked hiking paths, cycling routes, and educational trails connect various access points from the Jinonice, Hlubočepy, Butovice, and Řeporyje districts. Sturdy footwear is recommended since some paths are steep and rocky.
The Hlubočepy Small Lake is a former limestone quarry that filled with water, creating an unexpected water body in the rocky landscape. From its shores, visitors gain striking views of the surrounding rock walls and geological layers.
