Things to see and do Průhonice

The major attractions of the region lies in the park of Průhonice, attached to the village of the same name. The small village is now joined by the urban tentacles of Prague, but still has a little its village character. It is in any case a great idea of excursion from the capital. The castle was rebuilt many times in the most eclectic styles. It does not visit himself unfortunately. But the adorning one park in very good way. Its towers and turrets of various shapes are reflected in the ponds. These varied colours, its frescoes and sgraffito are remarkable. The park, with English, is beautiful. It houses the Institute of botany of Prague is delivered on these places to research on the plants, but also the birds, insects and other birds that inhabit the park!

Among the most remarkable achievements of this natural reserve, on the UNESCO World Heritage since 2010, we can mention rockery, created artificially and covering 3 hectares where the typical flora in the mountains and forests grows, the rose garden, which has more than 900 varieties of roses, as well as the collection of water lilies, worthy of the most beautiful paintings by Monet. It is therefore an afternoon of relaxation that is offered if you leave the capital to come here. The park is huge and its rhododendrons, azaleas its along all roads allow irresistible especially in early summer. There are various kinds of them so that bloom extends more possible for a long time and that all colours are there. Thus, the greenery of the trees is complemented by the pink, red, purple, white or yellow throughout the shades and all tones. The park was badly damaged by the floods of 2002, but it is again superb today. In summer, the botanical garden of Chotobuzi (Botanická zahrada) is open to the public until 17:00. The castle is only open for events and exhibitions.
