Discover more about Geografický střed České republiky

The Geographical Centre of the Czech Republic, marked by a modest monument in a meadow near the village of Číhošť, symbolizes the heart of the nation. Calculated by geodetic engineer Ladislav Fofonka in 2005, the centre represents the point of equilibrium of the country's borders. The monument itself, erected in 2006, provides a tangible focal point. While the location offers a quiet, contemplative experience, visitors can also reflect on the Číhošť miracle, an unexplained event that occurred in the local church in 1949 and 1950, later tied to political repression. Information about this event is available on a display board near the monument. While the monument is the main draw, the surrounding area offers a glimpse into rural Czech life. The site is easily accessible and provides a unique opportunity to stand at the very heart of Czechia.
