Sokolov sits at the junction of three waterways - the Ohre, Svatava, and Lobezsky brook, surrounded by mountains at 401 meters elevation.
First documented in 1279, Sokolov underwent a name change from Falknov nad Ohří in 1948 and experienced major transformations during the post-World War II period.
