Pruhonice Park and Castle, classified as part of the Historic Centre of Prague - UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992, is one of the crown jewels of the Czech Republic's national historical parks and an exceptional example of a European landscape park of this style. Covering an area of approximately 250 hectares, the park has a privileged location just 15 kilometres southeast of Prague, making it easily accessible and a perfect destination for either a sunny afternoon or a long weekend. Pruhonice Park is home to 1,600 different kinds of plants, including 8,000 rhododendrons (one of the largest collection in the world) and a unique 3-hectar Alpinum, as well as ponds and streams, 25 kilometers of pathways and a beautiful castle complex with its old church dating from 12th century. This rich combination of natural, cultural, and scenic values, together with a host of exceptional scientific and recreational opportunities, makes Pruhonice Park and Castle an inspiring example of Earth's most important heritage and perhaps Prague best getaway.Nowadays, Pruhonice Park is part of the Institute of Botany of the ASCR, one of the research institutes of the Academy of Science of the Czech Republic, that besides to conduct fundamental research on species, populations and communities of plants, is the organization responsible for its management and maintenance.

I arrived in Pruhonice quite early and after leaving my baggage at the hotel wanted to spend a few hours walking and the park seemed ideal. I’m glad I did, not much else in the center of town aside from restaurants and a spa. I could have spent many more hours walking the paths and just relaxing after a long flight. I recommend the exhibitions in the castle where you can look quickly or dive in deep. I learned about various trees, food crops, gardens, and a variety of vegetation. Much is in Czech, German, and English. The yellow trail is fastest and the easiest, red and blue are longer and have more hills. I did a combination and it’s easy to shorten any of the walks if pressed for time. All the photos I’ve posted are from along the yellow path or courtyard. I may return tomorrow as it was just a great way to unwind and relax.

We took a day trip to Kutna Hora from Prague and it was lovely to get out of the city for a day and enjoy the quiet and beauty of this village. It was easy to access by train and well worth the visit.

This Gothic castle was built in 1348, as a stronghold for royal treasures, especially Emperor Charles IV's collection of holy relics and the coronation jewels of the Roman Empire.

I visited the castle during a very quiet period because of a pandemic. It was easy to travel to and find by train from the Prague main train station (hlavni nadrazi). The train was modern, very comfortable, air conditioned and very cheap - especially for an older person. The castle guide (Jana Rumlova) was superb - very professional, warm and friendly, detailed historical knowledge, a good feeling for the big eras of history and the huge transformations, and the ability to answer questions in depth. Because we had to wear masks, her job was more difficult than usual - she adapted well. She made lots of eye contact and (without the usual ability to see facial expressions) she was skilfully reading the few available clues to whether the customers would like more information, or to move on, and she was adapting well to the feedback she could see. This castle is one of the most important historically in Europe. It is also very beautiful, and has great views of the pleasant surrounding green countryside. There are many small cafes, restaurants and shops in the village. The most important day trip from Prague, easy to do by rail or road, and a pleasant experience. Involves some uphill walking.
