The questions of definition, use and management of suburban forests during recent years are an important part of forestry research. The intention to spend free time in the forests in the Prague surroundings can be envisaged from two basic aspects - accessibility and attractiveness of the target. Contrary to the situation abroad, a specific phenomenon of weekend recreation in small weekend chalets has to be encountered as it has, namely near Prague, more than a hundred year tradition and significantly directs the visits into the close large forest complexes. There have arisen other facilities and equipment in the localities with traditional chalets accumulation which are attractive for a short-time (half day, one day) visits. Therefore, analysis of chalets location on forest land was a part of the project. The intensiveness of recreational use was analysed as coincidence of touristic attractiveness and the number of Prague inhabitants living within a certain distance from the forest.
