Letkov: Plzeň-aeroklub
Letkov is best known in Czechia for Plzeň-Letkov Airfield, home to Aeroklub Plzeň. Set in gently rolling countryside east of Plzeň, the airfield serves recreational and sport aviation, with a broad grass flying field and compact operational buildings. Nearby Plzeň is one of western Bohemia’s principal cities, where the Mže and Radbuza rivers meet to form the Berounka. The city is also the birthplace of Pilsner Urquell, first brewed in 1842; it gave the internationally recognised pilsner beer style its name. Letkov links a small aviation community with the industrial and brewing heritage of the wider Plzeň Region.

Letkov lies at the meeting of the Úslava valley and the wooded slopes around Radyně in the Plzeň Region, a setting that keeps this small municipality closely connected to Plzeň while retaining a rural character. Fields, woodland and local roads mark the shift from the city’s eastern outskirts to the rolling country towards Rokycany. Above nearby Starý Plzenec, Radyně Castle was founded by Charles IV in the 14th century and remains a defining historic landmark of the area. Letkov is well placed for combining time in Plzeň with walks or cycling in the surrounding countryside.

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.
