Dobrany: Biotop Kotynka
Few places in the Plzeň Region have a history as closely tied to the Radbuza River as Dobrany. The Radbuza passes through this small town before continuing north to Plzeň, where it meets the Mže and the Berounka begins. Dobrany lies in the more open terrain of western Bohemia, southwest of the regional capital, rather than in the wooded highlands farther west. Its historic centre is marked by the Church of St Nicholas, whose origins are medieval. The Psychiatric Hospital in Dobrany is another defining institution, set in a substantial historic campus. Together, the river, established town fabric and institutional architecture give Dobrany a character distinct from Plzeň while keeping it closely connected to the regional city.

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.
