Prague is full of squares and parks, but one time I was looking for a place with more "nature" where I could go for a walk, and I found Chuchelský háj (Chuchle grove). I went there with no idea as to what I could find there and it astonished me to discover this beautiful spot. Just five minutes from Smíchovské nádraží by bus I found myself following a yellow touristic trail and walking up the hill. Even though I was short of breath I had to enjoy the surroundings.
Half an hour later I discovered a Minizoo with mouflon, deer, a polar fox, lynx, talking ravens, etc., which is worth visiting and it is for free. There is a kiosk in the area and because I needed some refreshment after the climb I stopped there. After that I wandered through the forest and finally I found kostel sv. Jana Nepomuckého (st. Jan Nepomucký church) with a great view of Prague.
