Velká Chuchle

Velká Chuchle is part of Prague situated in the southwest of the city. It is part of Praha 16 administrative district.

The district includes Prague-Velká Chuchle Racecourse, Prague's only horse-racing track, offering flat racing on most Sundays from April to October. The track was founded in 1906.

This horse - racing track ("Hippodroma") was very often visited by the first Czechoslovak president Thomas Garrigue Masaryk,^[1] and in 1930, the primary school in Velká Chuchle was named after his wife Charlotte.

On a sunny Sunday, September 6, 2020, the 100th "Czechoslovak" (Czech) derby was held at the racecourse. There was also a great defilé of President Masaryk, represented by a race rider and accompanied by four legionnaires, as well as a parade of racewear of the First Republic. Slovak stallion Opasan won the main race of three-year-old horses with jockey Radek Koplík, so the Slovak anthem was played above the racecourse on this festive day.^[2]

Malá Chuchle, a part of Velká Chuchle, is the site of so-called Chuchle battle in 1881.

There is an interesting old limekiln with the duplex Pacold's shaft furnace – unique technical monument from the second half of the 19th century – to see in Velká Chuchle: Streetview Velká Chuchle railway station can be seen here https://www.google.fr/maps/@50.0068861,14.3885872,3a,60.8y,339.47h,93.61t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1svCFxhSSVpY9qWdtC3zDl6Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=fr
