The distinctive Chodsko Region with its characteristic regional customs has long inspired writers. Alois Jirásek and his novel “Psohlavci” is probably the best-known example, but Chodsko has also appeared in the writing of writers such as J. Dobrovský, F. Palacký, K. J. Erben and B. Němcová. If you want to follow in their footsteps, you should start by visiting the eleven historic villages with special royal privileges, granted by Czech kings in return for the sentry border duty performed by Chods. You can relax on the beach of local lakes, walk along the crests of the Bohemian Forest, visit neighboring Bavaria or climb the observation tower in Čerchov. You will soon find out for yourself that it is impossible to resist the charm of the Chodsko Region.
