  • Last but not least the company of friendly international people of Discovering Prague meetup!

 

DIFFICULTY: Easy to Medium (includes uneven terrain and steep ascents) – manageable by a healthy city-dweller/office worker who is used to walking

Hey Discoverers,

 

for the name of this hiking event, I paraphrased the title of my favourite book: Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman :)

I did it because this hike is 2 in 1, designed for both fast and slow hikers and walkers!

You will be able to choose which group you wish to join: Hobby hikers lead by myself and Sporty hikers lead by our lovely co-organizer Elena. Both groups share the majority of the route, but the Sport group hike is 4 kilometers longer. You’ll be able to swap your group during the hike, if you feel that your chosen group is too fast or slow.
