In Prague, there are 88 protected natural areas measuring altogether more than 2,220 ha. The offer of peaceful nooks and crannies in Prague is very diverse offering different water
reservoirs, meadows and woods.
Seven of Prague’s areas have the status of a national nature sanctuary. These are: Barrandovské skály (Barrandov Rocks), Cikánka, Dalejský profil, Lochkovský profil, the area U Nového mlýna, Požáry and Letište (Airport) Letnany. An additional fifteen localities are
described as a nature reservation and the rest are nature monuments.
Vinor Park National Nature Reserve is area south of the Vinor chateau with spring outlets, bordered with sandstone rocks.
Valuable landscape element linking up with the Satalice pheasantry represents a refuge for numerous plant and animal species, simultaneously providing recreation opportunities for the population of the northeastern industrial part of Prague.
The valley slopes show distinct rock city formations with honeycombs. Light sandy soils change into gleys in the valley. The valley floor is covered with wetland vegetation with wind-swept alders. The valley is bordered with the outcrops of the Upper Cretaceous sandstones, valuable old oaks on the valley slopes and wetland alder woods at the spring outlets with characteristic flora and fauna. The tree level is dominated by the common oak, the ash, the norway maple, the small-leaved lime and the hornbeam. The shrub level consists mostly of the common elder.
