Katovice: Husovo náměstí

Tucked along the Otava River in South Bohemia, Katovice is a place whose character is shaped by the river valley and the gently rolling, wooded country around it. This market town lies in the Strakonice area, where the Otava has long formed a natural route through the region. The Church of St Philip and St James, with its Romanesque origins, is Katovice’s principal historic monument and reflects the settlement’s medieval roots. Its compact centre and riverside position make it a worthwhile stop when travelling between the Šumava foothills and the wider Bohemian interior.

South Bohemian Region occupies a broad southern stretch of Bohemia in Czechia, reaching from the Šumava Mountains near Austria to the lowlands around České Budějovice. The Vltava flows north through this region, while the Třeboň area is renowned for its centuries-old network of fishponds and carp farming. Český Krumlov, set in a bend of the Vltava, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its historic centre and castle complex. The regional capital, České Budějovice, is also home to the Budweiser Budvar brewery. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of South Bohemia.

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.
