Prokop and Dalej Valleys Nature Reserve

The nature reserve Dalej Valley (Dalejské údolí) spreads along the Dalejský potok stream from the Řeporyje district to its confluence with the Prokopský potok stream from where it is called Prokop Valley nature reserve (Prokopské údolí) that is bordered by the Hlubočepy city district on its other end. In the north the territory of the park borders on Jinonice, in the northwest of the Stodůlky district and in the south Holyně district.

Thanks to its karst area, deposit of fossils and occurrence of protected plants Prokop and Dalej Valleys were declared a nature reserve. It presents the only large piece of nature that is located in the neighborhood of the surrounding housing estates of Prague 5 and so it is an ideal place for local residents to enjoy nature walks. It is pleasant to stop by, for example, the Hlubočepy’s Jezírko (Small Lake), a water-filled former limestone quarry. In the valley there are many points of interest, among others, for example, the Prokop quarry where according to a legend Saint Prokop used to live in a cave and where there also used to be a church of Saint Prokop with a hermitage. Part of the Prokop Valley is also the Děvín Hill with the surrounding hills called Dívčí hrady (Maidens’ Castles).

A hiking trail and a railroad track lead through the valley with the Praha-Holyně train stop. If you are a cycling fan you can take the bike trail A12 from Hlubočepy to Stodůlky and Řeporyje.
