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 chochlačka vrkočatá, lyska čierna, kačica chripľavka, sliepočka vodná, čajka smejivá, volavka popolavá, kormorán veľký, kačica divá and a large number of swans, songbirds can also be observed in the park. Especially sýkorka belasá and drozd čierny can be found here almost all the time.
Occasionally, you can also catch a glimpse of sýkorka veľká, mlynárka dlhochvostá, červienka obyčajná, oriešok obyčajný, brhlík obyčajný, žlna zelená, ďateľ veľký, kôrovník dlhoprstý, kolibiarik spevavý, trasochvost horský, and many others. There are abundant species of corvids here such as kavka tmavá, havran čierny and straka čiernozobá. With a little luck, you'll even see a rybárik riečny fly by.
If you head to Petřín, where there is relatively more vegetation (bushes), you will also be able to observe species such as penica popolavá, sýkorka hôrna, kolibiarik sykavý and after spring, abundant numbers of stehlík obyčajný. Quite common here among predators are jastrab krahulec and sokol myšiar (pustovka).

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.
