The Kingdom of Legends: Vysehrad - Individual tour in Czech Republic
About this experience
In the Czech Republic, there are beloved fairy tale characters, familiar and close to the Russian heart. For example, Libuše - the legendary ruler (like Vasilisa the Wise). Or the famous Czech horse Semik (Little Humpback Horse). But besides the fairy tale characters of Czech chronicles, there are places where their incredible stories unfolded. I invite you to follow the footsteps of Czech fairy tales and local legends!
What to expect
You will see sculptures of Ctidra and Sharka, Libuše and Přemysl on the cliff - Libuše's bath, where there was a secret passage straight into the river. That's where the unwanted lovers flew. The rock from which the horse Semik jumped to save his master from certain execution. From afar on the cliff, we will look at the city of Czech Amazons and scenic pictures of Prague visible from the walls of Vysehrad Fortress.
Along the way, I will tell stories of the city and the role of the inhabitants of Vysehrad in Czech history. Let's remember Yuri Gagarin's visit here. And we'll connect the history of Christianity specifically with this place in Prague. Here, at Vysehrad, sacred relics significant for Christians are kept even today. We will definitely see them.
Vysehrad is also a park, and a walk in the fresh air with views of Prague's panoramas, accompanied by birdsong, brings immense pleasure. The connection between history and modernity makes us reflect on values - not just material and religious ones, which we will discuss a lot at Vysehrad.
