PARKS IN POSÁZAVÍ

The educational display trail of “The History and Nature of the Konopiste Château Park” provides basic information on the development and condition of the park as well as the most interesting places within it. The park (340 ha) can be seen from along two trails with twelve information boards, either by foot or on a pushbike, with most areas accessible to the disabled.

Průhonice Park is a National Cultural Monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The park was founded around 1725 by František Adam Trauttmansdorff. At the end of the 18th century, the original French garden was transformed and expanded into a natural landscape park by Henry Rottenhan. The current owners have taken proper care of the park, restored the path system, renovated and adapted the park to its present form, as you can see it when visiting the castle.

The Dendrological Garden Průhonice is an arboretum and botanical garden. The axis of the garden is the valley of the Černý Brook with a water cascade starting from the Černý Pond, which together with the northern part of the garden is included in the Botič - Milíčov Nature Park. The Dendrological Garden is a research and experimental workplace of the Silva Tarouca Research Institute for Landscape and Ornamental Horticulture, a public research institution.
