Prášily (German: Stubenbach) is a municipality and village in Klatovy District in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic.

[4] In 1749, Lorenz Gattermayer bought the area from Countess Mansfeld and founded here two glassworks.

During their era, tens of thousands of mirrors were produced in Prášily and the village experienced the greatest development.

It covers an area of 1.5 ha (3.7 acres) and is the highest botanical garden in the country.

[9] On Poledník Hill (1,315 m (4,314 ft) above sea level) is the eponymous observation tower.

It is 37 m (121 ft) high and, due to the climatic conditions, is only accessible in the summer season.
