Bílá Hlína

Bílá Hlína is a small village and self-governing municipality in the Czech Republic, located in the Mladá Boleslav District within the Central Bohemian Region. The settlement has a modest population of around 100 people — 115 inhabitants according to data from 1 January 2013 — making it one of the smaller administrative units in the area. Its coordinates, roughly 50.53°N, 14.93°E, place it in central Bohemia, in a landscape typical of the Central Bohemian Region: gently rolling farmland surrounding the region's larger towns.

Where is Bílá Hlína located?

The village belongs administratively to the Mladá Boleslav District, one of the districts of the Central Bohemian Region. Central Bohemia forms a ring of municipalities and small towns around Prague, and the Mladá Boleslav District — named after its principal town — is best known as a hub of the Czech automotive industry. Despite its small size, Bílá Hlína holds the status of an independent municipality with its own local government, which is common in the Czech administrative system, where even very small settlements retain separate municipal status.

How big is the village?

With a population of roughly 100 to 115 people, depending on the source and the year of the count, Bílá Hlína is a compact, quiet village representative of the rural character of central Bohemia. Settlements of this size typically feature scattered housing, a small number of households, and an unhurried pace of life quite different from the region's busier tourist centers. For travelers interested in the everyday rural side of Bohemia, away from the main sightseeing routes, such villages offer a glimpse into the countryside that shapes much of the region beyond its better-known towns.

What should visitors know before planning a trip?

Available records do not point to any landmarks or attractions of wider significance within Bílá Hlína itself, and the village does not have a developed tourist infrastructure. Its appeal lies mainly in its location at the heart of the Central Bohemian Region, close to the larger towns of the Mladá Boleslav District, which makes it a convenient base for exploring the wider area rather than a standalone destination. Given the village's small scale — just over a hundred residents — visitors should expect limited local services and plan accommodation or amenities in nearby, larger towns within the district.
