We start at 9:00, introduce ourselves, and share a few words about what we're working on and what we hope to accomplish during the session. At the end of the session, you can give us a brief recap of how it went. We'll break at noon.
The afternoon session starts at 2:00 pm. You're welcome to join both sessions or just one. Please come as close to 9:00 as you can if you come for the morning session. If you come to the afternoon session, we are usually back by about a quarter to 2:00.
Saturday running and coffee
NOTE THE TIME CHANGE TO 9AM
Hi All,
Come and join us for social running and a coffee!
We meet at the main gate of Vystaviste - tram stop Vystaviste Holesovice. We will run in Stromovka.
Usually we run around 50mins and it is up to everyone how many kilometres. We welcome all levels of runner. We can all run together or, if there is more of us, we can split into groups and at the end of the run we all meet close to the starting point to go for a coffee to a nice local coffee place (where they also sell cakes and great chocolate). If the weather is great, we can also just sit in one of the outside coffee placces in Stromovka and enjoy the sun.
This is where we meet:

Day trip to Šumava "The Green roof of Europe"
Join **RSP Adventures** for an unforgettable day trip to the Šumava Forest, part of the largest continuous forest landscape in Central Europe. Together with the neighboring Bavarian Forest, Šumava forms what’s known as the "Green Roof of Europe" — a land of deep forests, glacial lakes, medieval castles, and untouched wilderness.
Our hike will take us to two of Šumava’s most iconic and mystical sites — the glacial Černé (Black) and Čertovo (Devil’s) Lakes. Nestled among steep forested slopes, these ancient lakes are silent witnesses to the last Ice Age, and their dark waters have long been surrounded by legends and natural beauty.
