Park Podviní

Start your morning in this unexpectedly lush oasis, built around a historic homestead and the winding Rokytka stream. Locals love the giant Celtic-inspired wooden hill fort and the shaded paths that keep the summer heat at bay. Grab a quick espresso from a nearby kiosk and enjoy the quiet before the day warms up.
