Bor
The Tachovská brázda shapes the setting of Bor — its gently rolling western-Bohemian terrain gives this small town an open, low-rise character. At its centre, Náměstí Republiky is a broad paved square lined with local businesses and town houses, concentrating everyday life in a single civic space. Nearby, Bor Castle developed from a medieval water fortress and later acquired neo-Gothic alterations. Bor belongs to Tachov District in the Plzeň Region and lies close to the Czech-German border, within a borderland where compact town streets meet the open countryside of western Bohemia.

The landscape around Bor is a gently rolling, wooded upland beside the Český les, which has shaped both the town’s compact form and a local economy long connected with forestry. In western Bohemia, near the German border, fields and managed woodland define the wider setting. Bor Castle is the town’s principal historic landmark: a medieval seat remodelled in a pronounced Neo-Gothic style during the 19th century, with its round tower remaining central to Bor’s identity. The castle and historic centre give this small town a character distinct from the larger spa towns and industrial centres of the region.

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.
