Borovno

Borovno (German: Borowno) is a municipality and village in Plzeň-South District in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic.

The Bradava Stream flows along the southern municipal border and supplies three small fishponds.

The greatest development of Borovno occurred at the end of the 18th century, when smelters were established in the vicinity of the village.

[2] In 1945, at the end of World War II, Borovno was liberated by American troops who stopped their advance here.

A remnant of the military base is Javor 51, a unique concrete warehouse that was used to store nuclear munitions.
