• Star-shaped summer palace at the center, where all three avenues meet, with exhibitions run by the Memorial of National Literature
• Two playgrounds and two fire pits spread through the woods, so pack a picnic and plan a loop between them
• Plenty of dogs, since this is one of Prague 6's main dog-walking spots, worth knowing with toddlers or nervous kids

A walled 86-hectare game reserve laid out in the 1500s, with three long tree-lined avenues meeting at the six-pointed Hvězda Summer Palace. Most paths run flat through beech, oak and fir woods, so it suits bikes, scooters and strollers.

There are two playgrounds and two picnic spots with fire pits, plus a traffic playground and volleyball court at the edge. In snowy winters, locals bring cross-country skis.
