Fruit orchards in Prague: Prague has 70 of them, the most in the world
Pluck a few cherries or pears from the tree and eat them right away. Probably most of them have such memories, especially from our childhood, when we went to grandmothers in the countryside or to summer camps as children. We all probably have secret expeditions to gardening settlements and lands to neighbors where cherries were blushing. But probably few would have thought that inFruit expeditions can also be undertaken in Prague and, in addition, free of charge and completely legally.
At a time when the prices of everything are rising today, a little fresh fruit is definitely suitable. Just go to one of the 70 Prague orchards. Yes, Prague really has so many, even the most in the world. “The Prague City Council manages a total of 70 orchards with an area of 115 hectares. Even one to two sets a year are added, either so that we get some to the administration or we are creating new ones”Explains the municipality of Jiří Rom from Prague, who is in charge of the orchard administration.

He wants to bring these secret parts of the capital closer to a new book, the Prague Fruit Orchard, which he plans to publish in the Fruit Fruit. It has been mapping orchards all over the Czech Republic for 6 years, and you can use interactive maps to search for the nearest orchards in your area. “We have selected 15 of the most beautiful Prague orchards and we have described them in detail in the book“Describes Lenka Linhartová from On Fruit.
The book describes the history of orchards, what fruit grows here and when the harvest season. “The orchards are ideal for family picnics or meetings with friends. There is peace and shade, people can pick fruit and take it home. There are also excursion routes in the bookround of individual orchards, you can spend the whole day in peace in them “continues Linhartová.
Now you choose interesting rewards from the menu through a crowdfunding campaign, such as a musting course, fruit fermentation, tree planting or a cutting course.
