This social and historical-geographical study addresses the circumstances of the founding and subsequent development of an important resort Hradištko, located 30 km south of Prague at the confluence of Vltava and Sázava Rivers. The resort was founded in a location, which inhabitants of Prague had used for recreation since the 19th century. Resort Hradištko was founded as an offshoot of an older resort Pikovice on the banks of Sázava River. Hradištko was not immediately connected to important roads or the railroad, but this relative isolation, and the quiet in the midst of an otherwise busy recreation area that it afforded, proved to be an advantage. From the beginning, Hradištko became the site for villas and cottages for all classes of Prague inhabitants, the wealthy elites, relatively wealthy middle class, as well as the lower classes, which were represented primarily by qualified workmen and lower civil clerks.
