Weekend getaway at the Branik district in Prague
Posted by happysteps on 30 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Czech Republic, Europe |
It was just one of those lazy Saturdays when you crave for grilled food and a picnic out in the sun, away from the usual environment at home.

There was really no definite place to go, and so we ended up at Branik, just few minutes away from Praha 4 in Prague. We were greeted by a wide expanse of green with the Vltava River calmly flowing by the side. The place is an idyllic weekend spot for sunbathers, families and yes, pets.

Few meters farther are thick trees along a higher terrain with a path where some enjoy speeding with their bicycles or skates

If you are looking for a definitely happy nature place in Prague, I always enjoy Petrin walk. It is quite a big park, quite in the centre. Other happy nature place in Prague is Divoka Sarka. But that is a trip for the whole day - you can go the road of Celts, with some romantic sights from caves where people used to live a looong ago (i post a link for you and i hope i don’t get ban for it
