I help seniors discover the walking routes they love

For over 16 years, I've been documenting accessible walking paths across Czech Republic — from Prague's historic quarters to the rolling countryside of South Moravia. My guides help thousands of seniors explore safely, confidently, and beautifully.

The Beginning

How it all started

Back in 2008, I was working as a tour guide for senior groups in Prague. Thing is, I kept noticing the same problem over and over — there simply wasn't reliable information about accessible walking routes. Seniors would ask about places they could visit without exhausting themselves, and I'd have to improvise or admit I didn't know. That bothered me.

So I went back to school. Studied Tourism Management at Charles University, focusing on accessibility standards and pathway design. But honestly? The real education came from walking. I started documenting routes myself — testing elevation changes, checking surface conditions, finding the quiet spots with benches and water fountains. Not just the tourist paths everyone knows about.

Over the years, this turned into something bigger. I've personally walked over 200 routes across Czech Republic. I've collaborated with senior centers, regional tourism boards, and accessibility organizations. And now, working with chiliblu s.r.o., I translate all that field experience into guides and resources that actually help people. That's what drives me — knowing that a senior in Prague or South Moravia can pick up one of my guides and explore confidently.

What I Know

Areas of Specialization

Decades of practical experience in accessible tourism and senior-friendly pathway design

Accessible Urban Strolls

Comprehensive knowledge of Prague's historic districts — Old Town, New Town, Lesser Town — with detailed guidance on wheelchair accessibility, rest areas, and scenic stops that won't tire seniors.

Vltava Riverside Promenades

Intimate knowledge of the Vltava riverbank from Vyšehrad to Troja — therapeutic walks with gentle elevation changes, beautiful views, and practical amenities documented throughout.

South Moravia Countryside Walks

Specialist in the rolling hills and wine regions of South Moravia — gentle countryside paths that combine natural beauty with accessibility, tested and refined through years of field work.

Accessibility Standards

Deep expertise in evaluating pathways for safety and accessibility — surface conditions, gradient angles, seating availability, and proximity to amenities that seniors actually need.

Route Documentation

Systematic approach to mapping and describing walking routes — from distance and duration to specific landmarks, difficulty assessments, and detailed turn-by-turn guidance.

Educational Resources

Creating clear, practical guides and articles that empower seniors to explore independently — combining technical knowledge with accessible writing that everyone can understand.

My Approach

How I work

Practical, not theoretical

I don't write about routes from an office. Every guide, every recommendation comes from personally walking the path. I test elevation changes, rest spots, surface conditions, and nearby amenities. You're getting information from someone who's actually been there.

Senior-focused design

Walking routes for seniors aren't just shorter versions of regular paths. They need accessible surfaces, regular seating, water fountains, restrooms, and medical facilities nearby. My guides specifically address these concerns because they matter in real life.

Clear, honest communication

I won't oversell a route's accessibility. If a path has steep sections or gravel surfaces, you'll know that upfront. Honest information helps seniors choose walks that match their actual abilities, not what they wish they could do.

Community collaboration

I work with senior centers, tourism boards, and accessibility organizations. Their feedback shapes my guides. Real people using real routes — that's where I learn what actually works.
