History & geography

History

The first written mention of Nýrsko is from 1327. The settlement was probably founded in the 12th century. It was situated on the trade route to Bavaria near a ford across the Úhlava. A custom house was located here. The lower part of the town called Dolní Nýrsko ('lower Nýrsko') was owned by the royal chamber, and the upper part, Horní Nýrsko ('upper Nýrsko'), was a market village under the ownership of the Pajrek Castle. In 1558, Horní Nýrsko joined Dolní Nýrsko and both became property of the municipality of Bystřice nad Úhlavou. The town developed and grew quickly at that time, and it obtained many rights and privileges from Emperor Rudolf II in 1593. The development continued in the 19th century when the town was industrialised. There were factories for matches and for linen, a tannery, a steam saw, two mills and a glass grinder. The turning point was primarily the start of production of optical products in 1895.

Geography

Nýrsko is located about southwest of Klatovy and south of Plzeň. Most of the municipal territory lies in the Bohemian Forest Foothills, but the southern part and the exclave lie in the Bohemian Forest. The highest point is a contour line on the slopes of the mountain Malý Prenet at above sea level. The Úhlava River flows through the town. A small part of 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.
