About location

Blatná lies along the Lomnice River in South Bohemia, where low wooded hills and fishpond country surround a compact town centre. Its defining monument is Blatná Castle, a moated residence first recorded in the 13th century and altered through Gothic, Renaissance and neo-Gothic rebuilding. An English-style landscape park surrounds the castle, making its grounds an integral part of the town. Míru Square and adjoining streets retain the scale of an old regional market town, with gabled houses, civic buildings and the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Blatná stands in southern Bohemia’s traditional pond-farming area, a landscape shaped for centuries by managed water and agriculture.

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.
