Stag Moat

Jelení příkop

ParkLocal favourite

A natural ravine of the Brusnice brook north of Prague Castle, over 8 hectares, divided into Upper and Lower moat by the Powder Bridge embankment with a pedestrian tunnel. It reopened in 2021-22 after years of closure. Praguers use it as a green short cut from Klárov to the castle; most visitors climb the crowded castle steps instead.
