Srni: Srní
Srní has served as a forestry settlement in the Bohemian Forest since the 18th century. Within Šumava National Park in western Czechia, it occupies a basin of wooded hills near the Vydra River valley. The compact centre is marked by the Church of the Holy Trinity, with homes, guest facilities and local roads arranged between forest stands and clearings. Srní developed alongside Šumava’s timber economy and remains closely tied to the region’s managed woodland. Nearby, the Vchynsko-Tetovský Canal was built in the late 18th century to float logs from the Vydra catchment, preserving a reminder of the area’s forestry heritage.

The village stands in the Šumava Mountains, close to the Vydra River valley, amid spruce forests and peatlands typical of this protected borderland. Nearby, the Vchynsko-Tetovský Canal is a late-18th-century engineering work designed by Josef Rosenauer to float timber from Šumava forests into the Vltava river system. Srní’s early-19th-century Church of the Holy Trinity is a local landmark. Hiking routes and cycle paths lead out into the national park’s forest country.

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.
