16 years designing accessible riverside walks and leisure programs for retirees across Prague
About Martin
Martin Svoboda began his career in 2008 as a junior recreation coordinator for the Prague Parks and Recreation Department, where he developed a real passion for making outdoor spaces accessible to aging populations. After earning his degree in Tourism and Recreation Management from Charles University, he transitioned into content creation and consulting work.
The Journey So Far
Over the past 16 years, Martin's worked with municipal authorities across the Czech Republic to evaluate and improve senior-friendly pathways. He's personally walked and documented more than 60 kilometers of routes along the Vltava riverside, gathering detailed accessibility data, difficulty assessments, and how these routes change with the seasons.
His work's been cited in three regional tourism guides and contributed to the Prague Senior Walking Initiative launched in 2019. It's not just about documenting routes — it's about understanding what makes a walk genuinely enjoyable and safe for people aged 65 and older.
At getrichinthedeepend Digital, Martin combines his fieldwork experience with practical knowledge to create comprehensive, trustworthy guides. He's driven by the belief that outdoor recreation is essential to healthy aging and that well-documented, accessible routes empower older adults to remain active and connected to their communities.
