The historic part of Hloubětín is literally within easy reach from Harfa – the whole walk won’t take you more than an hour.
We’ll start by taking a tram to the Starý Hloubětín stop, then head towards the Church of St. George. The first mentions of the church date back to 1217, although the Gothic building itself was not completed until 1257. Since then, it has undergone several architectural modifications, resulting in its current Neo-Gothic appearance. The church is only open during services, but it is still a beautiful sight from the outside.
Right behind the church stands a small chateau from the second half of the 19th century, built from sandstone blocks in the Tudor Gothic style. Its most striking feature is a three-storey square tower. Today, the building houses a health institute and is not open to the public – but it’s still well worth admiring from the outside.
Below the chateau, you’ll find an important tectonic site showcasing a fault in the Earth’s crust known as the Prague Fault. This fault can be traced for approximately 60 km – from Beroun all the way to Prague-Kyje. The Earth’s crust reaches the surface only here in Hloubětín. You can see rock formations of different ages meeting here, such as Skalka quartzites and clay shales.
The final stop is Kejřův Mill, originally a water mill on the Rokytka stream. In 2006, it was listed as a cultural monument, and two years later it was converted into a residential building. From there, we’ll connect to Poděbradská Street and enjoy an easy walk all the way home.
