Ondrejov

Ondřejov sits in the Benešov Uplands of Central Bohemia, Czechia, where wooded hills and small settlements shape the countryside southeast of Prague. The town is closely associated with the Ondřejov Observatory, founded in 1906 by industrialist and astronomy patron Josef Jan Frič. It is now home to the Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the 2-metre Perek Telescope, the largest optical telescope in Czechia. This long scientific tradition gives Ondřejov a distinctive role beyond its quiet rural setting, amid fields, forests and local roads through the Bohemian uplands.
