Račice stands beside the Elbe in Ústecký kraj, and its lowland riverside setting has made water sport central to the village’s identity. The Račice rowing and canoeing course occupies a former sand-and-gravel quarry and is among Czechia’s principal venues for international regattas, with a long, straight competition basin set apart from the river itself. Across the wider Elbe plain, the isolated hill of Říp is a defining regional landmark; its Romanesque rotunda of St George reflects the hill’s place in Czech national tradition. Račice remains small, with the sports complex and open agricultural country of the Polabí shaping its scale.
