The terrain will be a vanishing pilgrimage landscape, starting from Břevnov Monastery to Hájek Monastery. Albert will lead us along the western outskirts of Prague, and we will attempt to cross through a former field path, currently intersected with roadways and fenced by factory halls. Then we will continue through the cultural landscape and end up in a place that resists time - the U Hamouzů pub near Hájek Monastery.
