Komořany: Circular Route, Memorial Tree and Cultural Monument

There are several different themes to choose from for a stay in Komořany: the Stezka svobody 1938–1945 (Path of Freedom) runs through the area as an approximately 12.5 km circular route; the designated memorial tree Lípa srdčitá Na Šabatce is also located there. Komořany Castle, with its farm buildings and English-style park, is a cultural monument. Route planning, an individual memorial tree and a cultural monument each offer a different focus.

Circular Route and Getting There

The Stezka svobody 1938–1945 runs through Komořany, is approximately 12.5 km long and is laid out as a circular route. This provides two specific details for planning: the approximate length and the circular format. The route can be started at the bus stop in Komořany. Buses run there from the Želivského metro station on Line A and Háje metro station on Line C. If you plan to use this connection to start your route, check the bus timetable before setting out. Route conditions can also change, so check the current state of the route before you start.

Other Routes and Natural Areas

A bridleway leads from Komořany towards Cholupice and Točná. Check its condition and whether it is passable on site before making it a fixed part of your plans. The practical difference when choosing between the two types of route is that the Stezka has an approximate length and a circular format, while the bridleway is defined by its direction and the need to check local conditions.

Lípa srdčitá Na Šabatce is a designated memorial tree in Komořany. As a single, named tree, it differs from the routes. Its physical condition and access may change; bear this in mind when planning a visit.

Landscape Protection in Prague

Modřanské a Komořanské tůně, also known as the “Modřanské laguny” (Modřany Lagoons), are located on the right bank of the Vltava in Prague. Since 2014, they have been among the specially protected areas in Prague. The alternative name appears alongside the Czech name and may help with navigation. Both names refer to the same area and make it easier to identify if you encounter the alternative name instead of the Czech one. The location on the right bank of the Vltava and the protected status establish the area’s geographical location and its protection status.

Komořany Castle as a Cultural Monument

Komořany Castle is a cultural monument, including its farm buildings and English-style park. The designation therefore covers several components, rather than just the castle building. This also distinguishes the monument from the individual memorial tree: in this case, the buildings and park are explicitly included in the protected area. For travelers interested in monuments, this scope is the key point.
