  • Husinec (226)
  • Řež (1,375)

Etymology

The name is derived from the Czech word husa (i.e. 'goose'), meaning "the dwelling of the geese". The naming of the settlement was most likely figurative.[3]

Geography

Husinec is located about 6 kilometres (4 mi) north of Prague. It lies in the Prague Plateau. It is situated in a meander of the Vltava River, partly in the valley of the river and partly on a promontory above the valley.

The municipality is known for high average temperatures, which are caused by the specific relief of the landscape and the natural conditions of the river valley. Drought-tolerant and heat-tolerant plants typical of subtropical climates thrive here.[4] On 19 June 2022, the highest June temperature in the Czech Republic was recorded here, namely 39.0 °C (102.2 °F).[5]

History

The first written mention of Husinec is in a deed of King Ottokar I from 1227, Řež was first mentioned in a deed of Duke Vratislaus I from 1088.[4]

The municipality was hit by the 2002 European floods.[6]

Demographics

Transport
