Formed around an agricultural settlement in the Podkrkonoší foothills, Holovousy became a small Czech municipality with a national role in pomology. It lies in rolling countryside south of the Krkonoše Mountains, between Hořice and Lázně Bělohrad, where orchards remain an important part of the local setting. The Research and Breeding Institute of Pomology Holovousy, founded in 1951, is the village’s best-known institution, carrying out work on fruit varieties and cultivation.
