Geography


Planá nad Lužnicí is urbanistically fused with the neighbouring town of Sezimovo Ústí in the north. It is located about 6 kilometres (4 mi) south of Tábor. It lies in the Tábor Uplands. The town is situated on the river Lužnice. There are several fish ponds in the municipal territory.


History


Planá nad Lužnicí was first mentioned in a letter of bishop Tobiáš of Bechyně from 1288–1289, when it was part of the Prague episcopacy. From the time Oldřich of Ústí came to power until 1547, Planá was a dependency of the newly established Hussite town of Tábor. Then the town was bought by William of Rosenberg, who had a wooden bridge over the Lužnice river built. The estate was inherited by Peter Vok of Rosenberg, at the end of the 17th century it was taken over by the Sternbergs and later by the House of Lobkowicz.[2]

After 1848, Planá became an independent municipality, which developed also thanks to the construction of the railway line (1869) and timber rafting, which ran here until 1946.[2]
