History & geography

History

The first written mention of Dešenice is from 1272. Until 1686, the village was owned by various lower noblemen. In 1686–1757, Dešenice was a property of the Krakovský of Kolowrat family (a branch of the Kolowrat family). They had rebuilt the local fortress. The next owners of the estate were the Counts of Palm-Gundelfingen. In 1839, Dešenice was bought by Counts of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. In 1903, Dešenice was promoted to a market town.

Geography

Dešenice is located about southwest of Klatovy and south of Plzeň. Most of the municipal territory lies in the Bohemian Forest, but the northern part with the market town proper lies in the Bohemian Forest Foothills. The highest point is on the slopes of the mountain Prenet at above sea level. The municipal territory is rich in streams; the most notable of them is Jelenka. A small part of the Nýrsko Reservoir is located in the municipal territory. It was built in 1964–1969 and has a high stone dam. It serves as a source of drinking water for the region.
