About location

Humpolec lies in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands of Czechia, where the D1 motorway crosses a broad upland of fields and woodland. The town stands on the principal Prague–Brno corridor while retaining the compact character of a Vysočina district centre, with homes, services and small businesses surrounded by gently rolling countryside. Brewing is central to local identity: the Bernard family brewery operates in Humpolec and has made the town a recognised Czech beer destination. The wider Vysočina region is shaped by cultivated land, forest belts and small settlements rather than continuous urban development. Humpolec is both a practical stop on a major cross-country route and a base for getting to know the quieter Czech highlands.

Humpolec lies along the Želivka River, amid the rolling, forested uplands of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. The ruins of Orlík Castle rise on a wooded hill above the town, while the historic centre retains the compact scale of a regional market town. Humpolec is familiar to many Czechs through Hliník, the fictional resident of the classic film Marečku, podejte mi pero!, a reference celebrated locally at Hliníkárium. The Bernard brewery is another strong part of the town’s modern identity, continuing a brewing tradition in this Vysočina setting.

Vysočina Region
Region Vysočina Region

The terrain of Kraj Vysočina ranges from rolling uplands in its central and northern districts to river-cut valleys in the south, giving the region a distinctly rural character. Set across the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, it lies on the historic meeting ground of Bohemia and Moravia. The Sázava and Jihlava are among its principal rivers, threading through woods, fields and small settlements. Its cultural map has remarkable depth: Třebíč’s Jewish Quarter and Basilica of St Procopius form a UNESCO World Heritage property, while the historic centre of Telč is listed separately. Jihlava, the regional capital, provides an urban counterpoint to the surrounding highland countryside. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Kraj Vysočina.

Country Czechia

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.
