Several dozen people gathered in Prague’s Stromovka Park at sunrise on Friday morning to take part in the annual scythe mowing event, during which they cut down a wild flower meadow to the sound of folk music.
The traditional scythe mowing event in Prague’s biggest park, the Stromovka, has been taking place since 2014. This year’s edition attracted a record number of people and they only took about an hour to cut down the entire meadow.
They stayed afterwards to drink a cup of slivovitz and listen to the folk songs that were traditionally sung during haymaking.
