Built around a medieval parish settlement, Jistebnice grew into a small market town in South Bohemia’s rolling Jistebnická vrchovina. The Smutná River rises near the town and flows on towards the Lužnice, placing Jistebnice amid the gently undulating countryside of the Tábor area. It is closely associated with the Jistebnice Codex, an early-15th-century manuscript and a major source for Czech Hussite songs, including the chorale “Ktož jsú boží bojovníci.” That connection to a formative period in Czech religious and literary history gives this compact town an identity well beyond its rural setting.
