Topography

The village of Strážný is situated in the Prachatice district and belongs into the Region of South Bohemia, some 28 kilometres to the south of Prachatice and a little less than 19 kilometres from the town of Vimperk. It falls under authority of the municipality with extended powers of Vimperk. The village is situated on the historical land road from Passau to Prague, today the road number 1/4, in vicinity of the border crossing Strážný – Philippsreut. Strážný is located at the Czech-German borderline area at the altitude of 834 metres. The village itself is surrounded by the mountain peaks of Strážný (1115 m), Chlustov (1094 m) and Radvanický ridge, protecting the basin against the cold northern and western winds. This is the reason why Strážný, in spite of its high altitude, has rather moderate climate.
Several other villages and settlements historically fell into the authority of Strážný (named Kunžvart till late 1950's) - Kunžvart, Dolní Sazov (Cazov), Silnice (Horní and Dolní), Horní and Dolní Světlé Hory, Hliniště, Pumperle (Řasnice), Kořenný, Rőhrenberg and Adlerova Huť. Some of these villages do not exist any more. In present, Strážný is formed of the quarters Strážný, Hliniště, Kořenný and Řasnice. Upon decision No. 74 of the Speaker of Parliament of 1st April 2010, the village was returned the status of the township (awarded to Kunžvart in 1845).
