The villages and hamlets of Albeřice, Budov, Hřivínov, Luka, Malý Hlavákov, Týniště, Vahaneč and Záhoří are administrative parts of Verušičky.
Verušičky is located about southeast of Karlovy Vary. It lies mostly in the Doupov Mountains, only the western part of the municipal territory extends into the Teplá Highlands. The highest point is the hill Janský vrch at 717m (2,352feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of Verušičky is from 1556, when there was a fortress. The most important owners of the village were the families of Schlick (1705–1708), Breidenbach (1758–1775) and Nostitz (1775–1799).[2]
The I/6 road (part of the European route E48, which replaces the incomplete section of the D6 motorway from Prague to Karlovy Vary) passes through the municipality.
The main landmark of the Verušičky is the Church of the Holy Trinity. It is a valuable rural Baroque building. It dates from the early 18th century.[3]
The Verušičky Castle was a Renaissance fortress, which was converted into a Baroque castle at the beginning of the 18th century. At the end of the 19th century, it was reconstructed in the pseudo-Gothic style. Today the castle is dilapidated and unused.[4]
