Kružberk Reservoir on the Moravice River lies on the northern border of the municipal territory.

Budišov was owned by the bishops of Olomouc and during their rule in the 16th century, the greatest prosperity of the town has taken place.

[3][5] The prosperity ended with the Thirty Years' War, during which the town was almost destroyed and repeatedly looted.

Budišov became impoverished and began to suffer from its remoteness and distance from all the main roads.

[3] In 1938, after the Munich Agreement, it was annexed by Nazi Germany and administered as part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland, one of the 6 towns of County Bärn.
