Čachrov

Čachrov (German: Tschachrau) is a market town in Klatovy District in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic.

The name was derived from the personal name Cacher (a Czech variant of the German name Zacher, which was a shortened form of Zacharias).

Later the name of the settlement was distorted to Čachrov because people thought it came from the Czech word čachr ("dishonest trade").

The northern part of the large municipal territory, which includes the Čachrov proper, lies in the Bohemian Forest Foothills.

[4] The I/27 road (part of the European route E53), which connects Klatovy with the Czech-German border in Železná Ruda, runs through the municipal territory.
