Have you ever heard Vltava (The Moldau), a symphonic poem written by Bedřich Smetana? This walk will let you see the landscape which inspired him to compose such an amazing piece of music. And although the landscape has changed a little bit from the Smetana times (he probably wouldn’t like the hydropower dams), it’s still beautiful. And in some parts, wild too.

One of the most beautiful views of the Vltava River can be seen from the place called Maj which you can find above the former Svatojánské currents, only a few dozen kilometers from Prague. The river turns into a horseshoe shape here, thus creating a virtually fascinating natural scenery. The outlook is situated on a rock towering high above the winding river Vltava, which flows through a deep rocky canyon between the cities of Slapy and Stechovice.

A few facts:
- Maj viewpoint is one of the most famous in the Czech Republic
- Smetana viewpoint is very close and also provide stunning views
- Teletin village is around 45 min. from Prague by car, free parking
- in case you don´t have a car: the bus leaves from Smichov station (be careful about the departure from Teletin, I think there are only 2 buses per day or something like that)

When the weather is bad, this walk can be slippery and somewhat dangerous, please do take care on the cliffs and use common sense! If you feel it might be too dangerous, it probably is!

Grandior Hotel Prague

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent accommodations "

Michelangelo Grand Hotel Prague

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend this hotel. Very clean, spacious room (deluxe double), lots of choice for breakfast and loved their lobby bar for a chilled out drink after walking all day. Close enough to all the sights (15 min walk to the old town) with a great Dutch bar opposite for lovely food and cheap drinks. Traveller tip - make sure you use the uber taxis outside the airport (machine just before the exit if you haven’t got the app), don’t get in the unauthorised taxis - double the price."
