Christmas trees for Prague on their way to the capital

Lumberjacks in Kytlice in the Děčín region have felled two Christmas trees for Prague’s main squares, Wenceslas and Old Town Square.  The spruce tree for Old Town Square is 58 years old and measures 25 metres, the one for Wenceslas Square is 18 metres tall. The trucks with the spruce trees will leave Kytlice for Prague on Sunday afternoon and are expected to arrive in the capital shortly after midnight on Monday. The lighting ceremony will take place on the first weekend of Advent.
