In this episode of Prague Off the Beaten Track on Czechast, we explore Klanovice Forest — the largest continuous forest in Prague. Just on the edge of the city, it offers a surprising mix of deep history, quiet nature, and traces of ambitious plans that never fully materialised. From medieval robber legends to modern conservation debates, this is a place where the past and present meet in unexpected ways.

Today, Klanovice Forest is a peaceful escape — a stretch of woodland on the eastern edge of Prague where people come to walk, cycle, and take a break from the city.
