Chotesov
Chotěšov sits amid the gently rolling countryside of the Plzeň Region in Czechia, where detached homes and gardens line a local road. The settlement has a small-scale residential character, with houses standing on individual plots rather than along dense urban streets. Sloping ground, mature trees and garden plots shape its everyday setting, while modest outbuildings underline the practical rural pattern of life. This is a settled corner of western Czechia whose appeal lies in its lived-in texture: family homes, yards and greenery arranged across uneven terrain. Its low-rise development forms a clear contrast with the larger towns of the region.

Among the settlements of the Plzeň Region, Chotěšov stands out for its former Premonstratensian convent. The community lies near the Radbuza River in western Bohemia, in a farming landscape between Plzeň and the Czech-German border. Founded in 1202, the convent became an important ecclesiastical estate whose extensive buildings still give the town its defining character. Emperor Joseph II dissolved the institution in 1782, yet the large monastic complex remains a notable reminder of Chotěšov’s long religious role.

The river valleys of western Bohemia define much of Plzeň Region, supporting agriculture, linking historic towns and carrying the Mže, Radbuza, Úhlava and Úslava toward Plzeň. In the city, the Mže and Radbuza form the Berounka, while wooded highlands extend west toward the Bohemian Forest and south toward Šumava. Plzeň is the regional centre and the home of Pilsner Urquell: the beer was first brewed here in 1842 and gave its name to the pilsner style. Its centre is marked by the Gothic Cathedral of St Bartholomew and the Great Synagogue. Beyond the city, smaller towns, castles and rural roads give the region a distinct western-Bohemian character.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
