Isn’t it amazing how nature reclaims its space? Cholupický vrch stands as a testament to this. You might not believe it looking at its slopes now, but this wasn’t always a forested area. Cholupický vrch, reaching 306 meters above sea level, is a wooded hill located in the Prague-Modřany district. This makes it an integral part of the Modřany Gorge – Cholupice Natural Park. Records show that up until 1879, Cholupický vrch was predominantly covered in meadows and pastures, not woodland. The transformation began in the early 20th century, between 1910 and 1938, when a large-scale afforestation project took place. However, this wasn’t without its issues. Initially, the area was planted with unsuitable and non-native tree species like black locust, black pine, and Norway spruce. This has necessitated ongoing efforts to restore the forest to a more natural state. Today, a walk through Cholupický vrch reveals a mix of trees. You’ll find native species like oak, beech, Scots pine, and hornbeam. Even non-native species like Douglas fir and blue spruce have found a comfortable home here, particularly around the hill itself.
