Hradiště Děvín

Beautiful view of Prague

On the plateau above Smíchov and Hlubočepy was the castle Děvín from the first half of the 14th century. It was inhabited for about 100 years, and in the 16th century it was the target of testing the works. There are not many remains here today, but there is a beautiful view of Prague, and walks along the plains with steppe flowers are wonderful.

The last weekend forbade leaving the district, sunny weather and here it was like on the Prague-Prčice march. Thanks Vlad, he just gave great ideas

A beautiful walk from the Prokop valley in every season. The view of Prague is beautiful, do not sit down.
