Mokrovraty is a municipality and village in PÃ ÂÃÂbram District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 800 inhabitants.
Mokrovraty consists of two municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):
The name is derived from the Czech words mokro ('wet') and vracet ('to return'). The name arose because of the location of the village near the Brdy hills. These often caused the wind to turn and the rain to return to the village. The name of the village PoustÃÂ (literally 'deserts') also arose because of meteorological phenomena.
Mokrovraty is located about northeast of Pà ÂÃÂbram and south of Prague. It lies in the Beneà ¡ov Uplands. The highest point is the hill Králova stolice at above sea level. The Kocába River flows through the southern part of the municipality.
The first written mention of Mokrovraty is from 1304. Almost nothing has been preserved about the history of the village. From its inception until the establishment of a sovereign municipality in 1848, Mokrovraty belonged to the Dobà ÂÃÂà ¡ estate.
The D4 motorway from Prague to PÃÂsek runs along the western municipal border.
Mokrovraty is located on the railway line PragueâÂÂDobà ÂÃÂà ¡.
There are no protected cultural monuments in the municipality. Among the landmarks are the Chapel of Saint Wenceslaus in Mokrovraty and the Chapel of Saint John the Baptist in Pouà ¡tÃÂ.
