Chodová Planá (German: Kuttenplan) is a market town in the Tachov District in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic.

Chodová Planá consists of eight municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):[2] Chodová Planá is located about 12 kilometres (7 mi) northeast of Tachov and 49 km (30 mi) northwest of Plzeň.

Its owners often changed until 1560, when Chodová Planá was bought by the Širtingar (German: Schirnding) family.

[4] After the Battle of White Mountain in 1620, the properties of the Širtingar family were confiscated, and Chodová Planá was acquired by the counts of Haimhausen.

[4] Chodová Planá is known for the oldest brewery in the west Bohemian region, which is named Chodovar.

The first written reference of the brewery is from 1573, however, its much older history is evidenced by cellars from the 14th century, carved in granite rock, still used to brew beer.
