Plzensky Kraj: Pilsner Beer, Western Bohemia, and the Bavarian Border
Plzensky kraj covers a large area of western Bohemia, with nearly 585,000 residents. Plzen, the regional capital, is the fourth-largest Czech city and globally recognised as the birthplace of Pilsner-style lager. The Pilsner Urquell brewery, established in 1842, still operates on its original site and runs daily tours that end in the unfiltered cellars beneath the complex. The city also has a strong engineering tradition; Skoda (the original engineering works, separate from the car brand) was founded here in 1859.
West of Plzen, the landscape becomes hilly and forested as it approaches the Bavarian border. The Sumava foothills and the Cesky les (Bohemian Forest) are sparsely populated, with villages that were largely emptied after the Sudeten German expulsion and never fully repopulated. Klatovy, Domazlice, and Rokycany serve as smaller district centres. Domazlice hosts the Chodsko folk festival each August, celebrating the culture of the Chod people who historically guarded the Bohemian border.
