Lnáře

Czech Republic / Jihocesky / Lnare /

Lnáře (German: Schlüsselburg, in English Lnar ) is a small municipality in the Czech Republic, located 35 kilometres (22 mi) northwest of Pisek city or 50 kilometres (31 mi) southeast of Pilsen. It is situated on the shores of three ponds within municipal borders in the northwest corner of the formerly autonomous Prachens Region, today in the Strakonice District. The name of municipality is from the Slavic word len ("flix") and combined with a suffix which gives a meaning of "flix-makers" or "flix producers". The German name is in remembrance of a different fact – Schlüssel means "key" and Burg means "stronghold": in the ancient history a golden key was found by plougher in the building site of local New Castle.
