Tree Walks in Prague

Prague has 3 walks that string its ancient trees together on foot, from 1.34 km to 2.71 km, past 13 trees in all. Each one is an afternoon rather than a hike, and every tree on it has a story worth the stop.

The order is ours, worked out from where the trees actually stand; the walking distance is the real one along streets and paths where we have been able to route it, and a straight line between trunks where we have not. Nothing here is a signposted trail.
