Bystrice: Benesov airport
Built around a grass runway, Benešov Airport developed into a general-aviation airfield in the rolling Benešov Uplands of Central Bohemia. It stands near Bystřice, where broad cultivated fields meet wooded margins and low ridges typical of this part of the Central Bohemian Region. The open site is used by light aircraft and gives the surrounding terrain a clear, spacious character. The wider Benešov area is also associated with Konopiště Castle, the former residence of Archduke Franz Ferdinand d’Este. Airfield infrastructure and working farmland sit closely together here, reflecting a quieter side of Czech aviation beyond the country’s major airports.

Bystřice lies along the Bystřice Stream in the Benešov Uplands, where cultivated fields and wooded slopes shape the gently rolling terrain of Central Bohemia. The town belongs to the historical land of Bohemia and stands south of Benešov, in a region of dispersed villages and local road connections rather than dense urban development. The Church of Saints Simon and Jude is the principal landmark in Bystřice’s centre, while the municipality extends across a number of smaller settlements in the surrounding countryside.

The terrain of the Central Bohemian Region ranges from fertile Elbe lowlands in the north to wooded uplands in the south, creating a varied setting of rivers, farmland and old towns. The Vltava crosses the region before joining the Elbe at Mělník, while the countryside around Prague has long supplied and connected the capital. Karlštejn Castle, founded by Charles IV in 1348, recalls the medieval importance of this area; Kutná Hora preserves the legacy of silver mining that once ranked among the kingdom’s key sources of wealth. Roads, railways and river valleys still make Central Bohemia the country’s geographic core. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of central Czechia connects regionally.

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.
