Outing
This year’s Halloween Outing will bring you to a unique place with a marvelous views over Prague. Hold onto your hats so you won’t lose them! This year’s Outing will go through Letná Orchards!
Starting point of the Outing will be on a picnic place behind the Gymnasium Nad Štolou building, near Letná orchards.
The route will then lead next to the Orchards, on their northern side, all the way to Letná water reservoir, where we'll have our first resting break. From there, we'll advance around the Hanava pavilion towards the Pendulum, where we'll have a second resting break and a group photo. From there, we'll march through the heart of the Letná Orchards all the way to the Letná Castle, where our journey will end.
Most of the route will go through shaded areas inside of the Orchards. Still, be wary of your own physical health and don't be afraid to stop to rest individually or seek some of our helperteam or orgateam members in case of nausea or overheating.
This year’s innovation are fixed refreshment points, where our Water Carriers will wait for you to come to them. The water will not be following us around for the whole time, yet per urgent request, we will be able to secure water on call. In total, over 150 litres of water and 300 straws will be ready for your needs.
Dos and don’ts:
We are fully aware that you want to enjoy the Outing and yourself to its fullest. We kindly ask you though, always remember that you are in a public area, so keep your behaviour and noise levels on a reasonable level. Don’t divert from the Outing’s route, don’t enter various businesses alongside the route in your Fursuit, try to care about your surroundings and most importantly, always respect the instructions of the Orgateam and Helper’s team.
If you are carrying a speaker, try to keep its volume on a reasonable level. If there are multiple people with speakers around you, do not try to overpower their music.
Be very careful around the viewpoints. Railings are often not as strong as they look like. Walls might not be as tall and wide as they seem. It is completely normal for someone to accidentaly bump into you in the rush of the outing. Do not lean on or climb the rampasses and railings.
Don’t walk on the grass unless absolutely necessary. Do not step into flower beds or ornamental flowers under any circumstances. Don’t damage your surroundings and nature.
Refusing to follow the Organizers and Helpers instructions will lead to you being left behind for the wild Prague’s predators.
When do we start?
Outing will begin at 13:00 at the picnic place behind the Gymnasium Nad Štolou building. Be on time, the Outing cannot wait for anyone! The whole journey won’t take longer than three hours in total.

Most of the Outing will lead through the Letná orchard. The Outing is about 2 km long and will overcome a total elevation of ~10 meters.
Interactive Outing Route available here.
And how to get there?
Best to get here is from the tram stops Korunovační (in the direction to Strossmayerovo náměstí) or Sparta (in the direction Hradčanská). From each of these stops is about five minutes on foot to the starting place of the Outing.
For parking, we advise to use streets. Many paid parking zones (blue of violet) can be found around, the closest ones being on Kostelní, Letohradská or Muzejní streets. You may also use the parking lot at the National Agriculture Museum. If all surrounding streets would be full, we advise seeking shelter in nearby Letná underground garages, which can be accessed directly from the Milady Horákové street (near Sparta tram stop). All parking areas in the nearest vincinity of the outing are paid.
