A number of locally-specific units of measurement were used in the Czech lands to measure length, area, capacity and so on. In 1876, the metric system was made compulsory; however, local measurements and old Viennese measurements weren't still in use.
1 látro was equal to 1.917 m.
There were units specific to Bohemia.
1 stopa ( or stà ÂevÃÂc) = 0.296 m
1 sáh = 1.778 m
1 mÃÂle = 7.003 km.
In Prague, one loket was equal to 0.593 m. The stopa was equal to 0.2965 m.
As in Bohemia and Prague, there were specific local units used in Moravia.
1 stopa (or stà ÂevÃÂc) = 0.284 m
1 loket = 0.594 m.
Similar to the other three parts of the country, local measurements were in use in Silesia.
1 loket = 0.579 m
1 mÃÂle = 6.483 km
1 stopa = 0.2895 m.
In Bohemia, one mÃÂÃ Âice was equal to 1999 m<sup>2</sup>. 1 korec (also known as the strych or the mÃÂra) was equal to 2878 m<sup>2</sup>.
1 jitro = 2 korec
1 lán = 60 korec.
Several different units were used to measure capacity. One Moravian mÃÂÃ Âice was equal to 70.6 L. One korec (or one strych) was equal to 93.592 L.
