Krásná in West Bohemia named Village of Year

Krásná in West Bohemia has been named Czech Village of the Year, ahead of Vysočina in East Bohemi and Černotín in Moravia. Krásná, which has a population of just over 500, was selected from 13 villages that had won their regional Village of the Year competitions. Some 210 municipalities took part this year, almost 100 fewer than in 2014. The winner was announced at a folk festival in the Moravian town of Luhačovice.
