Sedlec-Prcice
Among the small towns of Central Bohemia, Sedlec-Prčice stands out for lending its name to the Prague–Prčice March. First held in 1966, this annual long-distance walking event has made the town a familiar destination for generations of Czech hikers. The municipality joins the historic settlements of Sedlec and Prčice amid the gently rolling agricultural country commonly called Czech Siberia. Houses, farm buildings and local roads lie between fields, meadows and wooded rises, giving the place a distinctly rural rhythm rather than an urban character. Sedlec-Prčice represents the quieter south-eastern part of the Central Bohemian Region, where small settlements remain closely connected to the surrounding land.
