Bohostice is a village and municipality in Příbram District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.
Landscape[]
The local district of about 21 km² is mostly wooded and hilly, with the highest point at 544 m and lowest at 350 m at the level of the reservoir. Located some 2 km from the left bank of the Orlik artificial lake, it is an important recreational locality. There are some camp sites and cottage settlements in the cadastre of the village. Some 40 to 50 m below the lake surface still stand the remains of the church of St. Stephen and the flooded village Těchnice.
History and landmarks[]
The first written mention of the village dates from 1386 . Having no significant industry and no railway connection, the main economy was farming and forestry until the second half of the 20th century, when the reservoir coastline became popular as a recreational area.
