vyhlídka na koně Převalského

Have you ever wondered what wild horses dream of? Here at the vyhlídka na koně Převalského, you get a glimpse into their world. This observation tower, perched on the edge of the Przewalski horse enclosure at Dívčí Hrady in Prague, offers a unique perspective. The enclosure, a vast 20-hectare expanse bordering Prokopské údolí, opened in 2021. Prague Zoo spearheaded the project, releasing four wild horses into this area with stunning views over Prague. The vyhlídka na koně Převalského is one of three observation platforms along the perimeter of the enclosure. It’s easily accessible and provides excellent vantage points to watch the horses roam freely. These horses are the last truly wild horse species on the planet. They were declared extinct in the wild in 1969, surviving only in zoos around the world. Prague Zoo plays a critical role in their preservation and reintroduction into their natural habitats. The vyhlídka na koně Převalského is more than just a place to admire these magnificent animals. It’s a symbol of hope for a species brought back from the brink. The enclosure replicates their native steppe environment as much as possible. This allows potential candidates for transport back to the wild to acclimatize to a more natural existence. It’s a beautiful sight to see them graze, interact, and live as their ancestors did. From here at the vyhlídka na koně Převalského, you can watch the herd. There are four mares, Khamiina, Xicara, Lana, and Gruhne, and one young filly born right here in the enclosure. A stallion is expected to join them soon, hopefully leading to future generations. As you observe these remarkable creatures from the vyhlídka na koně Převalského, remember a crucial point: do not feed the horses. Their diet is carefully managed, and any outside food, no matter how well-intentioned, could be harmful or even fatal. Please let them thrive in their carefully curated environment. The best viewing times are in the cooler hours, before 10 am or after 6 pm. They often seek shade during the heat of the day, behaving much as they would in their wild habitat.
