Plzeň-North District

The Plzeň-North District extends across 1,286 square kilometers of terrain, including the Plasy Uplands, Rakovník Uplands, and Teplá Highlands regions.

The district formation followed the 2000 Czech administrative reform, establishing Plzeň as its capital while maintaining separate administrative centers in Kralovice and Nýřany.

The Plasy Monastery and Manětín Castle represent significant architectural monuments in the district, reflecting centuries of regional building traditions.

The district connects to major transport routes through the D5 motorway, linking the area to Prague while the Berounka River forms its eastern border.

The territory contains extensive agricultural lands covering 647 square kilometers alongside 520 square kilometers of forest areas, with Stěnský vrch reaching 756 meters elevation.
