Lesna
Among the places of the Plzeň Region, Lesná stands out for Havran, a forested summit in the Český les range close to the Czech–German border. At 894 metres, Havran is one of the higher points of this low mountain region, whose long ridges are covered largely by mixed and coniferous woodland. The summit’s lookout tower has made it a destination for walkers exploring the borderland around Tachov. Its presence also recalls the strategic importance of these uplands during the Cold War, when access to much of the frontier zone was tightly controlled. Lesná lies in a sparsely settled corner of western Czechia where forest roads and marked trails connect small communities with the wider Český les landscape.

The forested ridges of the Český les define the setting of Lesná — this small western Bohemian municipality lies in an upland borderland close to Germany, where woodland, meadows and dispersed settlements shape everyday life. Lesná stands within the Český les Protected Landscape Area, a broad and lightly populated region of the Plzeň Region. The nearby frontier recalls the decades when this was part of the tightly controlled Iron Curtain border zone; today, local roads lead through a quieter rural landscape.

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.
