Description
Kampa Park is located on the west bank of the Vltava River, not far from the island "Střelecký ostrov", near Petřín Park. In addition to the museum and gallery of the same name, it is a popular place for a picnic or an afternoon walk, so a higher number of visitors can be expected. The park consists mainly of taller trees and well-maintained asphalt paths. In addition to waterfowl such as Kontyos réce, Szárcsa, Kendermagos réce, Vízityúk, Dankasirály, Szürke gém, Kárókatona, Tőkés réce and a large number of swans, songbirds can also be observed in the park. Especially Kék cinege and fekete rigó can be found here almost all the time.
Occasionally, you can also catch a glimpse of széncinege, őszapó, Vörösbegy, Ökörszem, Csuszka, Zöld küllo, Nagy fakopáncs, Hegyi fakusz, fitiszfüzike, hegyi billegető, and many others. There are abundant species of corvids here such as Csóka, Vetési varjú and Szarka. With a little luck, you'll even see a Jégmadár fly by.
If you head to Petřín, where there is relatively more vegetation (bushes), you will also be able to observe species such as kis poszáta, Barátcinege, sisegő füzike and after spring, abundant numbers of tengelic. Quite common here among predators are Karvaly and vörös vércse.

Access
Parking is possible in the adjacent streets, and parking payments can be made via the "Moje Praha" application. Tram stops No. 9, 12, 15, 20 and 22 are also located in the vicinity of the park. Kampa and Petřín parks are best explored on foot or by using the paid bike rental service "Rekola" using a mobile application.
Waterfowl can also be observed from the adjacent Střelecký ostrov or by renting a boat. A walk in Kampa Park itself takes approximately 15-20 minutes, as it is smaller, so it is worth combining the activity with Střelecký ostrov or Petřín. Petřín is naturally uphill, so you have to be prepared to get a little warm and climb a few stairs. In addition, there are public toilets everywhere.
