[EN]
Petrin Hill (318m), to the west of the small quarter of Prague, should have a superb view of the town and the river crossed by the famous Charles Bridge. Unfortunately most of the views are blocked by the numerous large trees in the park. If you search for this geocache, you will find a spot with a break in the trees and an amazingly clear view of the town. It's at the top of a grassy bank, so bring some food and a few bottles of the fantastic Czech beer, and take in the view for a while. Don't forget the camera!

You get the shortest walk to the cache and the least "off-road" walking by taking the funicular railway from Ujezd to the middle station and switching your GPS unit on there. But why not go to the top, and have a look at thePetrin Tower, the Hunger Wall, the mirror maze and the lovely rose gardens before making your way downhill? Or if you fancy some exercise, climb from the bottom of the hill.

You should wear grippy shoes, especially if you intend climbing the hill. The grassy bank near to where the cache is hidden can be very slippery.

WARNING: There are homeless people nearby. (Nearest one has its place 15 meters uphill). Please keep the cache well hidden!

Note that the place changed a bit since the cache was founded and the cache was moved, so locating the right spot to have a nice view may be more difficult. This cache is second oldest not archived cache in Czech Republic

O Petrine vam jiste nemusim vypravet, takze prejdu k upozornenim. Chce to rozumne boty, obzvlast za vlhka. Precijen je ve svahu, cestou shora jsou skalky a cestou zdola muze byt obcas trochu blata.

UPOZORNENI: Blizko kese se nachazeji bezdomovci, nejblizsi bivakuje 15 metru nad kesi. Tak ji prosim zase dobre zamaskujte.

Od zalozeni kese se misto trochu zmenilo a kes byla kousek premistena. Takze nalezeni toho spravneho vyhledu nemusi byt tak snadne. Toto je druha nejstarsi nearchivovana kes v CR.
