A narrow canyon of Vltava where the river battled through a deep rocky valley and formed rapids called "Svatojánské proudy" (Midsummer or St. John's currents) has witnessed tramping and woodcraft movement since its very beginning. Still, whole generations gather here and enjoy the unique spirit of the place. #autumn #fallroadtrip #czechrepublic #europe #river #amazingview #hiking
Small town, roughly 20 minutes drive from Prague with an amazing family brewery Berounsky Medved. Modern brewing history goes back to 1871 in the town of Beroun but ended in 1978. Over 20 years later, the Mayer family renewed the tradition by opening a brewery for the true beer lover. This isn't a fancy joint, it's a place for those who love good beer, good friends and good times. The brewery’s location might take most by surprise, as it is to be found in an abandoned industrial estate. Although the area has a slightly dubious feel to it, the brewery itself is bright, cheerful and family friendly. There is also a collection of old tanks outside, because why not? Twice a year is a larger potter and craft fair in the town of Beroun where you'll find the beer for sale on the square. Getting there: The town of Beroun is a pleasant train ride through a river basin with stunning landscapes and a castle or two. Trains depart from both Prague's main station and Prague Smichov station (reachable by the yellow metro line). The commuter trains (Os) take around 50 minutes while the fast train (R) is around 35 min. If you would like to stop at the famous Karlstejn castle on the way there or back, take the commuter train because the fast trains don't stop there. The Karlstejn stop is easy to tell because that's where everybody with a camera gets off. From there, Beron two more stops. Once at the train station, walk out the front door and turn left and follow the signs to the brewery. There are a few twists and turns, but walk into the courtyard of the industrial area and you are there!

4. Prague Astronomical Clock

Mounted on the southern wall of the Old Town City Hall is one of the oldest working astronomical clocks in the world: Pražský Orloj, the Astronomical Clock. Established in 1410, it has often stopped working and its mechanism has been repaired many times. Luckily it was spared from destruction and has even been upgraded with symbolic figures, so it is still ticking away the minutes today. Better still, it now comes to life every hour!

5. Charles Bridge

The historic Charles Bridge (Karlův Most), was the only proper crossing between east and west Prague for centuries. The bridge has been a busy thoroughfare since it was built. Vehicles were admitted to the bridge at the beginning of the 20th century but have since been banned. Today the Charles Bridge is a popular pedestrian bridge that offers views over the Vltava River and old city center.
