Přírodní park Šárka-Lysolaje, Nature park in Prague, Czech Republic
Description
Přírodní park Šárka-Lysolaje is a nature park in northwestern Prague with forests, meadows, and rock formations that create diverse habitats. The terrain is cut by gorges and a river that give the park its distinctive topography.
History
The park was officially protected in 1990 to preserve the natural area from urban expansion. This decision was part of Prague's broader effort to safeguard important natural regions as the city grew.
Culture
The park takes its name from the Šárka River, which flows through deep gorges and shaped the landscape over time. Visitors sense this connection to nature when walking along the water and observing the rock walls that define the valley.
Practical
The park is open around the clock and can be entered from multiple points. Buses serve nearby stops, making public transport access straightforward.
Did you know?
A natural lake in the park invites swimming during summer months while birds nest in the surrounding forests. This mix of water and birdwatching makes it a rare retreat within the city.
