Řeporyje. Where it all begins.
The Church of Saints Peter and Paul overlooks the square. The first nature-trail panel introduces its history. From here, the streets gradually give way to a path along the Dalejský Stream.

02 / What you’ll see
Places worth
slowing down for.
From a church and an old mill through geological history to a quarry lake and a viaduct. Seven selected stops, in order from the start.
A mill with a story to tell.
The remains of this former roller mill recall the valley’s industrial past. A watermill stood here in the 18th century and was later modernised by the Truneček family. View the ruins from the path.
Mušlovka: an ancient sea in stone.
Tilted layers of limestone preserve the story of a Silurian sea. Known for its fossils, Mušlovka is part of the Dalejský profil National Nature Monument. Pause and read the landscape through its layers of stone.
Černý lom. Two eras, one rock face.
The quarry face records the transition from the Silurian to the Devonian. The trail panel also introduces sea lilies and their unusual spherical loboliths. A geology stop that brings the rocks to life.
Beneath the cliffs of Červený lom.
Beyond Holyně, another striking limestone backdrop appears. Červený lom exposes Lower Devonian layers, while its sunny slopes support warmth-loving plants and animals. The area is now part of the Prokopské údolí Nature Reserve.
A small lake. A dramatic setting.
A flooded quarry, a near-vertical rock face and a quiet pocket among the cliffs. Leave the main valley path for a short detour to the lake. The shore is outside the original GPX track: this is an optional extra stop.
A finale beneath stone arches.
The northwestern Hlubočepy Viaduct belongs to the Prague Semmering railway. Its five arches provide an impressive stone backdrop near the end of the walk. Only a short stretch remains to the finish at Slivenecká 77/1.
And between the stops?The route also passes Holyně and the rocky amphitheatre above the former Klukovice bathing area. More nature-trail panels explore the landscape and its history. See all 16 trail stops ↗

How the route and places were verified
Verified on 11 October 2026. The Mapy.com link contains a hiking route from Řeporyjské náměstí to Slivenecká 77/1: 7.1 km and 1 h 52 min. The original GPX export contains 422 points, with a total distance of approximately 7.09 km between them. The interactive map displays this track unchanged.
The selected places were compared with the GPX track and the nature-trail description. Numbers 1–7 belong to this presentation, not the official trail panels. Approximate distances refer to points on the path near each place. The lake is marked as an optional detour; neither its path nor its length has been added to the GPX.
