You might know that I like to get off the beaten path.
The Prague Castle has some of it's own nooks where you can do just that. It is surrounded by gardens, a vineyard as well as a moat.
The Stag Moat (Jelení Příkop), is a natural ravine of the Brusnice stream, running alongside the castle. Breeding of deer took place in this area in the 17th century, thus the name.

Just steps away from the side entrance of the castle near the tram stop, can take you from the bustling tourist crowds to beautiful, quiet surroundings where you may only see another person or two.
Spires of St. Vitas Cathedral peeking through the trees.
The stream runs below you as you walk through the tunnel.
Daliborka Tower of the Prague Castle.
You can exit the way you came or through a tiny little path taking you back down to the Malostranska metro.
My friend, Mary Ann and I exited near the metro on this particular journey.
If you want to visit the moat this year, you'll have to hurry. It's only open until October 31. It will reopen April 1st.
The perspective of the castle, the beauty of the landscape and it's quiet location in the midst of the city make this walk so worth it!!
Have you visited the moat or like to get off the beaten path?
Linking up again with Bonnie, Camila, Jessi, and Amy for Travel Tuesday.
