Hranice (Czech pronunciation: [ˈɦraɲɪtsɛ]; German: Roßbach) is a town in Cheb District in the Karlovy Vary Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,100 inhabitants. Villages of Pastviny, Studánka and Trojmezí are administrative parts of Hranice. The old German name Rossbach means "Horse brook", referring to the brook where first inhabitants watered their horses. Therefore the horse appears on the town's coat of arms and flag. In Czech, hranice means "border". Following the partition of Germany, a border tripoint (between Czechoslovakia, West and East Germany) was situated near the town, for which the village of Trojmezí (literally "Tripoint") is named. The village is also the tripoint of the three historical regions of Bohemia, Bavaria and Saxony. More information...
