Letná Orchards (Letenské sady)
nová úprava
Letná Orchards belong to the most important City parks. The vast City park spreads in between Embankment of cpt. Jaroš and Letenská Street, occupies a portion of the Letná Plain and slopes above the aforementioned embankment. The Orchards occupy a large, almost rectangular land with area of approx. 52 hectares and are formed of a system of roads and alleys in between the landscaped areas. They form the interlink in between the Chotkovy Orchards and the Royal Preserve. They are utilised for recreational purposes, social purposes, and, first of all, to promenade walks. |
