Tábor, Administrative district in South Bohemia, Czech Republic
Tábor is an administrative district in South Bohemia that spreads across highlands, hills and flat basin landscapes. The countryside alternates between gentle valleys and wooded rises, crossed by rivers and smaller watercourses.
The town at the center of the district arose in 1420 as a fortified settlement during religious conflicts. The region evolved over the centuries from a military base to an administrative and trade center.
The district takes its name from the town founded by Hussites, referring to a biblical mountain. In the streets and public squares, monuments and building forms recall this religious reform movement that shaped daily life.
Travelers reach the district via motorway D3, which connects Prague to the south. The region suits both short visits to the main town and longer stays in smaller settlements and rural areas.
The Lužnice river crosses the lowest parts of the area at 354 meters, while Batkovy Hill forms the highest point at 724 meters. This elevation difference of nearly 400 meters creates very different microclimates and vegetation zones within a relatively small space.
