The castle has opened the Jeléní příkop, visitors should expect challenging terrain
“By the decision of the Office of the President of the Republic, Vratislav Mynář, Jelení Příkop will be open to the public this winter, as the Royal Garden,” said the leader, as well as the Office of the President of the Republic (KPR).
You can get inside by walking along the walkway from the Pacassi Gate, i.e. from the tunnel leading from the direction of the Powder Bridge to the second castle courtyard. You can also walk along the sidewalk to Medvědinc.
“Entrances from Klárov, Belvedere and U Brusnice Street will be open depending on the weather. If there’s a lot, they’ll stay closed,” Snow noted. When passing through the embankment of the Prašné most, they must expect short-term restrictions due to construction work.
Despite the possible danger of the terrain, road maintenance will only be basic in the winter months.
In the winter months from Sunday also opened the Royal Garden.
Deer ditch is one of the most romantic places in Prague. The incredible atmosphere of calm, yet almost without tourists, in the very center of the city makes Jelení kokopiv a place where people often escape from the overcrowded Castle. However, the ditch was closed for several years, some parts of it were undergoing reconstruction. This has long been criticized, for example, by the current management of the municipality, headed by Mayor Zdenek Hřibe. This year, the Deer Ditch opened for one weekend in October.
Prague Castle already announced last week that the Deer Moat and the Royal Garden were removed from the so-called security perimeter guarded by policemen and soldiers. The measure is supposed to enable the cancellation of security checks, which until now included the entire castle area. However, the opening of the Deer Ditch means a new entrance to the Prague Castle area, so the police will probably have to create a new checkpoint.
Prague Castle also announced earlier that the entire Jelení moat would be open from the beginning of the next tourist season, and it finally opened already on Thursday.
