Blahousty — a village green above the Hracholusky reservoir

The gabled houses around the green give Blahousty a compact centre. Its setting makes more sense after looking at the water and woods around it.

From the source

Blahousty is a small settlement in the municipality of Erpužice in western Czechia. Houses gather around a modest village green near the meeting of the Mže and the Úterský stream, beside the Hracholusky reservoir.

Editorial reading

Erpužice describes how the reservoir changed the village’s approaches, leaving the road from the west as the principal way in. The green and the surrounding houses still give the settlement a clear centre, even though the routes around it have changed.

Recommendation

Approach by the western road and stop at the green for the view of the houses. Use marked public routes for any longer walk towards the reservoir, since the shore and nearby properties have separate access.
