Mokrovraty is a municipality and village in Příbram District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 800 inhabitants.
The village of Pouště is an administrative part of Mokrovraty.
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 Poustě (literally 'deserts') also arose because of meteorological phenomena.[2]
Mokrovraty is located about northeast of Příbram and 29km (18miles) south of Prague. It lies in the Benešov Uplands. The highest point is the hill Králova stolice at 413m (1,355feet) 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 Dobříš estate.[2]
The D4 motorway from Prague to Písek runs along the western municipal border.
Mokrovraty is located on the railway line Prague–Dobříš.[3]
There are no protected cultural monuments in the municipality.[4] Among the landmarks are the Chapel of Saint Wenceslaus in Mokrovraty and the Chapel of Saint John the Baptist in Pouště.
