Pohori: Ski Resort Chotouň
Ski Resort Chotouň is best known within Central Bohemia for its local downhill slope on the wooded hills near Pohoří. Rather than an Alpine-scale destination, it is a compact winter-sports facility in the rolling Central Bohemian Uplands, a region of fields, scattered woodland and small settlements southeast of Prague. The run is served by a lift and includes a children’s section, making the site suited to learning as well as informal local skiing. Chotouň reflects the Czech tradition of accessible small ski areas beyond the country’s major mountain ranges. Its character comes from the close meeting of an open slope and forested hillside, rather than the high-altitude terrain associated with larger resorts.

Built around scattered rural homesteads in the wooded hills south of Prague, Pohoří grew into a small settlement in Central Bohemia. It lies on the higher ground above the Sázava River valley, where fields and forest form a gradual transition between Prague’s outer districts and the region’s inland countryside. Nearby Jílové u Prahy is closely associated with medieval gold mining, a heritage presented by its Regional Museum. Quiet local roads connect Pohoří with the Sázava valley and the surrounding woodland, giving the area a distinctly rural character despite its proximity to the capital.

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.
