History & geography

History

The first written mention of Loučovice is from 1361, when the village was owned by Vyšší Brod Monastery. The village was burned down in 1420 together with the monastery by Taborites, and renewed after the Thirty Years' War. In the 1880s, entrepreneur Arnošt Porák founded a large paper mill in Loučovice, which employed more than 1,000 workers at its peak. Electrified railway built in 1909–1911 reached Loučovice.

Geography

Loučovice is located about south of Český Krumlov and southwest of České Budějovice. The municipality borders Austria in the south. It lies in the Bohemian Forest mountains. The highest point is the Hvězdná mountain at above sea level. The Vltava River flows through the municipality. Most of the municipal territory lies in the Vyšebrodsko Nature Park. There are several small-scale protected areas; the most valuable is Čertova stěna-Luč National Nature Reserve with giant stones.
