Touzim: Česká spořitelna, a.s.
Toužim straddles a broad ridge in the Tepelská vrchovina highlands of western Bohemia, a position that has kept its centre compact amid the surrounding rural area. Náměstí Jiřího z Poděbrad forms the civic heart: a wide paved square with a Marian column, everyday services and traditional town houses. First documented in 1354, Toužim preserves the scale of a historic Bohemian small town, with its castle and the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary among its longstanding landmarks. Civic buildings, small businesses and homes keep daily life concentrated around the square. The Střela River rises just southeast of the town before crossing western Bohemia to the Berounka.

Built around a medieval castle, Toužim grew into a small town on the Střela River in western Bohemia. It lies amid the rolling Toužimská vrchovina uplands of the Karlovy Vary Region, away from the celebrated spa cities that shape much of Czechia’s international image. The compact historic centre preserves the character of an old market town, with the former castle complex and the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary among its notable landmarks. Toužim is a fitting stop when exploring the quieter rural interior around the Teplá area.

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.
