Usilov: Kdyně-Koráb

Wooded hills of southwest Bohemia define the setting of Usilov — fields, meadows and scattered homes lie among gently rolling countryside in the Plzeň Region. This small municipality stands in Domažlice District, away from Czechia’s main urban corridors, where local roads connect a distinctly rural settlement pattern. Its character comes from the quiet scale of the Bohemian interior and the seasonal change of farmland and forest. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Plzeň Region.

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.
