Nepomuk: náměstí Augustina Němejce - Kašna se sochou Panny Marie
Tucked into the gently rolling Blatná Highlands, Nepomuk is a place whose character is shaped by its upland setting in south-western Czechia. Augustin Němejc Square forms the civic heart, with a fountain bearing a statue of the Virgin Mary and a perimeter of low historic houses. The square is named after Augustin Němejc, a Czech painter born in Nepomuk. The town is closely associated with Saint John of Nepomuk, the Bohemian cleric and martyr traditionally believed to have been born here; his cult became one of Central Europe’s most enduring. Roads through the compact centre connect Nepomuk with the wider Plzeň Region and its undulating countryside.

The Úslava River and Mihovka Stream define the setting of Nepomuk — the town occupies gently undulating country where their valleys meet in the southern Plzeň Region. Nepomuk is closely associated with Saint John of Nepomuk, the Bohemian priest and martyr whose veneration spread far beyond Czech lands. The Church of Saint John of Nepomuk marks the site traditionally regarded as his birthplace. Nearby Zelená Hora Castle is linked with the Zelená Hora Manuscript, a celebrated subject of Czech literary history.

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.
