Hurvínek's tree at Vyšehrad

Two weeks ago, Hurvínek's tree was ceremoniously planted in the heart of the Vyšehrad. The most famous Czech puppet will celebrate its 100th birthday next year. The Vyšehrad National Cultural Monument therefore decided to dedicate the Czech national tree to it, which will grow for at least another hundred years. The tree can be found in Karlachovy sady between the statue of St. John of Nepomuk and Čertovy kameny (Devil's Stones). The planting of the memorial tree took place on November 17 in the presence of Petr Kučera, director of the Vyšehrad, and Denisa Kirschnerová, director of the Spejbl and Hurvínek Theater.

Hurvínek himself and his entire puppet family also lent a hand. Spejbl, Mánička, Kateřina, and Žeryk were all there. Hurvínek's dog is the central character in a children's play called Žeryčku, hop!, which will be performed by the Spejbl and Hurvínek Theater in the Burgrave's residence at Vyšehrad until December.
