Bohutín is a municipality and village in Příbram District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,000 inhabitants.
The villages of Havírna, Tisová and Vysoká Pec are administrative parts of Bohutín.
The name is derived from the personal Bohuta, meaning "Bohuta's (court)".[2]
Bohutín is located about 4km (02miles) southwest of Příbram and 52km (32miles) southwest of Prague. It lies in the Brdy Highlands. The highest point is the hill Leč at 628m (2,060feet). The Litavka River flows through the municipality. There are two notable fishponds: Vysokopecký and Vokačovský.
The first written mention of Bohutín is from 1379. Historically, it is a mining settlement associated with the mining of lead and silver ore.[3]
The I/18 road (the section from Příbram to Rožmitál pod Třemšínem) passes through the municipality.
