About location

Zelená Lhota combines dispersed farmsteads with the forested foothills of the Bohemian Forest in a way that reflects its historic Czech–Bavarian borderland position. Above the settlement rises the Osser massif, which straddles the border and reaches 1,293 metres at Großer Osser in Germany. Nearby, the Nýrsko Reservoir holds the waters of the Úhlava River and serves as an important drinking-water source. Fields, meadows and woodland surround this small settlement near Nýrsko, where agriculture meets the mountain terrain of Šumava. Its character is defined by rural land use, forested ridges and the long-established connection between Bohemia and Bavaria.

Zelena Lhota occupies the upper Úhlava River valley in the Šumava foothills of the Plzeň Region, close to the Bavarian border. Part of the municipality of Nýrsko, it lies on the railway route between Klatovy and Železná Ruda, which follows the river through wooded slopes and small settlements. The local station reflects the importance of rail travel in this south-western corner of Czechia, where the land rises towards the border highlands. Zelena Lhota is not an urban centre, but a small settlement that conveys the rural character of the Klatovy area.

Plzeň Region
Region Plzeň Region

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.

Country Czechia

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.
