Sušice, Historic municipality in Klatovy District, Czech Republic.
Located 24 kilometers southeast of Klatovy, Sušice spreads along the Otava River at an elevation of 472 meters in the Bohemian Forest Foothills.
The settlement originated near the Otava River in 1233 as a gold mining area before developing into a trade center for salt and grain with Bavaria.
The Renaissance town hall, featuring a 31-meter tower, stands prominently in the town square alongside the Bohemian Forest Museum displaying regional artifacts.
The municipality operates a regional railway connection to Horažďovice and encompasses seventeen localities, including Albrechtice, Červené Dvorce, and Volšovy.
The town manufactured SOLO matches from 1839 until 2008, when production transferred to India, marking the end of a 169-year industrial legacy.
