Příbram District

Příbram District is an administrative division in Central Bohemia encompassing 120 municipalities across terrain that changes from eastern valleys to western elevated plateaus. The landscape features rolling hills and ridges, with several peaks scattered throughout the region's varied geography.

The district grew from early medieval silver mining operations that drew settlers and fueled the region's economic development. This mining heritage gradually transformed the area into a substantial administrative region centered on Příbram as its main city.

The district contains eight recognized towns such as Dobříš and Sedlčany, where visitors find architectural monuments and regional museums that reflect local traditions. These places show how Czech communities celebrate their heritage through events and daily customs that remain active throughout the year.

The district is served by regular train and bus connections linking all municipalities and providing access to larger centers. The D4 motorway offers direct connections to Prague and continues southward toward the city of Písek.

The Vltava River runs through the district and forms a network of three major reservoirs: Orlík, Kamýk, and Slapy. These water bodies play a central role in regional water management and shape the landscape in visible ways.
