A long valley. Combined with other areas that are not part of the main valley, it spans more than 5 km, almost all the way from Vltava to Řeporyje, with numerous side-tracks. A small bathing place can be found here, as well as opportunities for rock climbing, running etc.
Prokop Valley is a recreational area in southwestern Prague, located in the districts of Barrandov, Holyně, Řeporyje, Stodůlky and Hlubočepy. It encompasses two streams, Dalejský potok and Prokopský potok, the latter of which is surrounded by a valley, despite the fact that it is much shorter. The area includes a natural reserve which encompasses a far wider area than the valley.

White Mountain
This is where the eponymous Battle of White Mountain took place between Habsburg forces and the Czech nobility on 8 November 1620, as part of the Thirty Years' War. During the early fifteenth century's Hussite rebellions, most of the Czech people abandoned the Catholic church and followed the Protestant teachings of Jan Hus and similar preachers. Despite the annexation of the Czech lands by the very Catholic Austrian Habsburg family, the Czech nobility remained Protestant. When Emperor Ferdinand II violated an agreement signed by his predecessor which codified the mainly-Protestant nobility's rights, they got angry. Two Protestant churches were forcibly closed or destroyed on orders of the Bishop of Prague (Ferdinand's right-hand man), the nobility decided they'd had quite enough, and gathered at the Castle en masse. Count Thurn, the ringleader, and his assistants entered the Castle, where they were harassed by two Catholic members of Ferdinand's advisory council. The words 'defenestration' and 'Prague' are inextricably linked in history), Count Thurn and his friends threw the council members out a window. In a remarkably ironic twist of fate, they landed in a pile of manure and survived. What next? From a smelly pair of court lackeys to war?
Letohrádek Hvězda
Star-shaped and white, rising out of its meadow like a porcelain figurine, this small summer palace is located near one of the most infamous sites in Czech history. There is a small museum inside dedicated to the 18th century nationalist writer Alois Jirásek, best known for his collection of Czech fairy tales, available as Old Czech Legends in the U.S. Hvězda's shape is unusual, but this area is known for being near Bílá Hora.
A luxurious villa designed by Austrian and Czechoslovak architect Adolf Loos, the author of influential essay "Ornament and Crime" among others. The villa was built in the years 1928-1930, at the same time as the famous Mies Van der Rohe's Tugendhat Villa in Brno. Adolf Loos considered Müller Villa to be his most beautiful house and it is also the building where he most perfectly embodied the ideas of his Raumplan. The villa, including its interiors, has been renovated and restored to its original 1930 appearance in the late 1990s. Now Müller Villa is one of the most authentic and best preserved of Adolf Loos' works. It is possible to visit the Müller Villa by guided tour which must be booked in advance by telephone (+420 224 312 012) or through the official website
