Welcome! Our Prague event is a melting pot of cultures where Czech beer meets global chatter. [[Click this whatsapp groupchat link to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/COaDT779p9EEZDtVxb3ukg)] Every Saturday at 7:30 PM, locals, travelers, and expats (mostly in their 20s–30s) gather for fun and language exchange. Whether you're fluent or just learning "hello," you’re invited. It’s casual, cool, and genuinely Prague.

PLEASE NOTE that your attendance on this event is only confirmed (!) when you reserve your place on DiscoveringPrague.cz website here: [https://www.discoveringprague.cz/event/lets-canoe-in-krivoklatsko-june-20-2026/](https://www.discoveringprague.cz/event/lets-canoe-in-krivoklatsko-june-20-2026/) This is because the canoes have to be booked in advance. Thank you for your understanding & cooperation :) \*\*\*\*\* Ahój Discoverers! Weather forecast promises proper summer weather for the weekend so let's cool down on the Berounka river. The plan is to canoe some 12km/8 miles from the small town of Zbečno in the protected landscape area **Křivoklátsko**. The route is suitable for beginners. *You can join even if you haven’t canoed before as long as you can swim. You should also be somewhat physically coordinated and have patience to learn a new motor skill!* I’m **not** a certified instructor however, I have taught countless people the basics of canoeing. LOGISTICS We will meet on Saturday 20th of June at **8:30** in front of the main ticket office at the Prague Main Railway Station. We’ll be aiming to be back in Prague by **19:00**. However, we will be as fast as the slowest members of our group and an unexpected delay is possible. This is a **full-day event.** WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU • Shoes to wear in water (sandals, or you can buy special shoes for walking in water) • Wear clothes which dry fast (NOT jeans) • Sunscreen • Towel and maybe some spare clothes (in case your canoe capsizes) • Swimwear • Bottle of water and a small snack. • Put all your staff to a small compact bag – we will put all our belongings into water-proof barrels and they are not very large. You need to be prepared for a possibility of the boat flipping (capsizing). Keep your phone in a waterproof case and have glasses on a string while on the river! \*\*\*\*\* PRICE: 890 CZK (Includes train fare both ways, equipment rental and myself as your guide and organizer) Food&drink is not included. To be confirmed on the trip, you have to (!) book your place on Discovering Prague & CZ website here: [https://www.discoveringprague.cz/event/lets-canoe-in-krivoklatsko-june-20-2026/](https://www.discoveringprague.cz/event/lets-canoe-in-krivoklatsko-june-20-2026/) \*\*\*\*\* You can also pay with benefit cards or vouchers! I accept Pluxee Card and vouchers, Edenred Card and vouchers and Benefity.cz and Benefity Plus card!

Cheers, Filip

Let's hike & swim! The weekend is supposed to be pretty...warm, so there is no better way to spend the time than in a cooler place - in the mountains where we can expect around 25°C, and finish a relaxed pace hike with cooling down - in the beautiful, clean, natural peaty water. PLEASE TAKE FOOD and MAINLY ENOUGH WATER with you for the whole day. There is nothing in the mountains! DO NOT FORGET YOUR SWIMSUIT (unless you plan to use the naturist beach ;-)) We will meet at the Praha - Černý Most bus station - platform 6. The bus station is actually below the metro line so you have to take the first stairs down. Platform 6 should be right here where you see the yellow RegioJet bus. I'm easily recognizable - tall, slim, green cap. Estimated return back to Prague at 9 p.m. Buy your ticket here (you can cancel it anytime if something), the bus is almost always full (especially now in summer) so do it in advance: [https://regiojet.cz/?departureDate=2026-06-20&tariffs=REGULAR&fromLocationId=10202003&fromLocationType=CITY&toLocationId=17904003&toLocationType=CITY](https://regiojet.cz/?departureDate=2026-06-20&tariffs=REGULAR&fromLocationId=10202003&fromLocationType=CITY&toLocationId=17904003&toLocationType=CITY) **Prague-Liberec - AN 9:00,** **Liberec AN - Prague 19:40** (but you can use any station in Liberec, it does not matter) Here is the approximate trail https://mapy.com/s/popadetabe I reserve the right to adjust the trail a bit depending on the group :-) It's Czech Republic, not the Alpes so it is not very tough for people who are used to at least some hiking. But indeed there is an ascending part so a decent condition is surely required. You can check the elevation profile when you click on the map. I've made the trail 14 km long so it's not too tough, we don't have to rush, and have more time to enjoy the lake. We will have to walk a few more km for the bus, but only after we have taken a dip and refreshed! This event is free of charge (you just need money for bus tickets and train (around 300-350 CZK), but any **contribution for organizing and to cover the subscription fees is more than welcome** (100+ CZK is recommended, but it's totally up to you how much you think the trip was worth, your financial possibilities etc.). I'm looking forward to seeing you all again! Jirka 🙏🤗

This Sunday, we’re heading up to see the iconic **Petřín Tower and exploring the beautiful Czernin Palace Garden.** If you haven't been, the palace garden is a total hidden gem—super peaceful, stunningly baroque, and only open to the public during the summer weekends. It's the perfect way to **stretch your legs, meet cool new people, and soak in some of the best views in Prague** before heading to our weekly board games evening! 🎲🍻 📍Czernin Palace Garden: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/rkRnrF2BjgTqoqhA8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rkRnrF2BjgTqoqhA8) 🕒 **THE PLAN:** * **15:00 - MEET & STROLL**: Meeting up to wander through Petřín and the hidden Czernin Palace Garden.
