TrainTour Reviewer: Archivovano a uzamceno na prani puvodni majitelky Malehavranice, ktera ma na takovy pozadavek moralni pravo, jelikoz keska necti to, co zde vytvorila a adopcni podminky tez nebyly naplneny (keska je vice "mrtva" nez ziva).

Cituji z email pozadavku Malehavranice:[i]
Ahoj, obracim se na Tebe s prosbou o archivovani nasi byvale kese Grebovka (GCVNX7).
Tuto kes jsem dala k adopci v dobre vire, ze se ji nekdo, kdo bydli blizko a ma zajem, ujme. Bohuzel, novy majitel udelal z kesky "paskvil", dlouhodobe mimo provoz na kterem jeste ke vsemu figuruje stale nase jmeno.
Proto Te prosim o reviewersky zasah.

Moc diky predem![/i]

Cili neni co resit - chapu, ze malahavranice nechce pod touto kesi byt dale podepsana, cili pokud Cowboy trva na kesce v teto oblasti, muze zalozit novy listing, az ji OPRAVDU umisti.

Park Havlickovy sady, obecne znamy jako Grebovka

se rozklada v udolni nive potoka Botice, na severnim (k jihu obrácenem) svahu udoli nad ni a presahuje na prilehlou cast Vinohradske plosiny. Vyskový rozdil mezi obema dosahuje asi 40 m, v nadmorske vysce kolem 200 m. Jeho plochu nad meandrujicim potokem pokryvala ješte v polovine 19. stoleti prevazne pole a – uz od doby Karla IV. – i vinice (jeden ze starych nazvu Botice byl „Vinny potok“), misty pastviny, ale i zahrady. Už v 17. stoleti zde hospodarila rada usedlosti. Nekolik z nich i s pozemky koupil v r. 1870 podnikatel Moritz Gröbe a do r. 1887 zde dal vybudovat honosne sidlo s parkem. Podnikal pri stavbe zeleznice Praha – Ceske Budejovice. Zeminu, vyvezenou z Vinohradského tunelu, pouzil k zarovnáni horni plane. Na miste usedlosti Horni Landhauska vznikla mohutna pseudorenesancni vila italskeho typu s vyhlidkovou terasou. Usedlost Dolni Landhauska u vychodni brany byla prestavena v dum, sousedici se slozitou romantickou terasou. Nad vchodem domu je deska MAURITIUS GROEBE A° DI (anno domini) MDCCCLXXI (= 1871). Na svahu pod vilou zustala jedna z poslednich udrzovanych vinic v Praze. Dnes zde pecuji o 12 tisic keru vinne revy peti odrud: hlavne Rulandske modre i sede a rakousky Dornfelder. Jedná se o suché vino, v obchode pod etiketou „Kralovske Vinohrady Grebovka“, ktere je mozno ochutnat i v obnovenem Vinicnim altanu s vyhlidkou na vinici i údoli. Vetsinu ostatni plochy pak pokryva anglicky park. V SZ casti, prilehajeci ke hranicne zdi, v sousedstvi umelych, nyni suchych jezirek, vyhovovala tehdejsi mode romanticka umela jeskyne (grotta) s kasnou a sochou Neptuna, dnes vse v troskach. Jen asfaltove cesticky a zatisi dodnes lemuji cementove „parezy“, jejichz koreny slouzi jako schudky. Vinohradska obec v r. 1905 celý areal vykoupila a nasledujicho roku otevrela jako verejny park. Usedlost Vetrovka u severni brany byla zbourana a na jejim míste ve 40. letech vzniklo ve skleniku podobne stavbe vivarium s klecemi i akvarii a s produkcemi cvicenych psiku. Dnes je na tomto miste upravene detski hriste a za nim prilehla zakladna zahradnicke firmy. Grebovka je v soucasne dobe peclive udrzovany, dendrologicky hodnotný park. Krome funkce „plic mesta“ slouzi k odpocinku, prochazkám s detmi, casto i ke studiu a v neposledni rade k potese zajemcu o zelen: zasveceny zde napocita 120 druhu nasich i cizich drevin.

Park Havlickovy sady, known as Grebovka

Havlíckovy sady Park, commonly known as Gröbovka Park, is located in Botic creek flood plain, on northern bank of Botic valley, and adjacent part of Vinohrady plateau. Altitude difference between lower and upper Park parts is approx. 40 meters in average altitude 200 m above sea level. The park area over meandering creek was covered even in 19th century by fields, pastures, gardens and (from 14th century) vineyards (one from the old names of Botic creek is "Vine Brook").

In 1870 were some from these estates bought by businessman Moritz Gröbe. He built here luxury and spectacular villa with adjacent park. Moritz Gröbe was an entrepreneur in railways construction, and he used soil mined during Vinohrady railway tunnel building for the leveling of the future park upper parts. On the place of former homestead Horní (Upper) Landhauska arise massive pseudo-renaissance Italian style villa with sightseeing terrace. Dolní (Lower) Landhauska homestead close to the eastern gate was rebuilt into house adjoining a complex terrace in the romantic style. On the house entrance you can find tablet MAURITIUS GROEBE A.D. MDCCCLXXI.

On the slopes under villa is one from the last remaining vineyards in Prague. Today is here planted over 12 000 vine shrubs of five cultivars (mostly Pinot noir, Pinot Gris and Dornfelder). You can taste here produced dry vines (under label "Královské Vinohrady Grébovka") in reconstructed "Vineyard Summerhouse" (Vinicní Altán) with vista to the vineyards and valley. Majority of the Gröbovka is covered by English style park.

Vinohrady community bought the complete grounds in 1905 and in the next year opened it as public park. Gröbovka is well preserved, dendrologically valuable park (over 120 planted wood species) at present serving not only as "city lungs", but also as an important recreation area for Prague citizens and visitors.
