Current Affairs Prague renovates ten old gamekeeper's lodges

The city of Prague, as a popular tourist destination, attracts millions of people thanks to its rich cultural heritage, historical monuments, beautiful architecture and its romantic little streets and cafes. Although it is known as one of the "greenest" capitals in Europe, few people are aware that Prague includes some 4,900 hectares of forest land. Around half the land is owned by the city, which spends some 36 million crowns - 1.2 million Euros - a year on maintenance. For over a decade, it has also owned ten run down gamekeepers' lodges but has only recently been given the green light to renovate them and offer its rangers homes close to their forests.
