Letonice: Jihomoravský kraj, Česko - Bučovská 437
Rolling arable hills define the setting of Letonice — broad cultivated fields reach directly to a compact line of homes, giving this South Moravian settlement an open rural character. The municipality lies in Czechia’s South Moravian Region, east of Brno, where villages remain closely connected to the land around them. Letonice occupies a modest rise, with detached houses, farm buildings and tiled roofs creating a low, continuous settlement edge rather than an urban centre. Its character comes from the direct meeting of gardens, lanes and farm plots with the wider undulating countryside. The village is a clear example of Moravia’s settled agricultural country, shaped by small communities and working fields rather than large towns.
