Amusement park at Prague Fairground

The pilgrimage route started near the current Hradčanská metro station of Prague and led to the Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk, where a parish fair took place.

The parish fair gradually moved to the lower sections of the pilgrimage, especially to today's Victory Square (Vítězné náměstí) in Dejvice.

During the First Czechoslovak Republic, approximately a quarter of a million people participated in this pilgrimage.

After several places (Letná, Modřany, Břevnov) the fair permanently moved to Výstaviště Praha in Bubeneč (nearby Dejvice).

Secularization of Czech society caused the religious origins of the fairs to be largely forgotten.
