Horsovsky Tyn: Město - Město, Zámek
Few places in the Plzeň Region have a history as closely tied to the Prague bishopric as Horšovský Týn. The town grew beside the Radbuza River around a medieval administrative centre of the bishops’ western Bohemian estates. Its landmark castle began as a Gothic fortress and was later transformed into a Renaissance residence; it is now one of the region’s principal historic monuments. The Church of Saints Peter and Paul anchors the old town, where closely grouped houses and tiled roofs climb the gentle slopes above the river. Near the Bavarian border, Horšovský Týn preserves a townscape shaped by centuries of ecclesiastical and noble patronage.

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.
