geography
Frahelž is located on the left bank of the Lainsitz in the area of the UNESCO Třeboňsko Biosphere Reserve between the Lainsitz in the plain of the Wittingau basin . The place is surrounded by several large fish ponds, of which the Ponědražský rybník is the largest.

history
The village was founded at the beginning of the 14th century; the first documentary mention dates from 1549. The mill owner who lived on the Lainsitz enjoyed the privilege of being a freeman and was thus exempt from forced labor . The current spelling developed from the original place name "Freihals".
It is said that Jan Žižka was cured in Frahelž in 1424 ; This year was also carved into a boulder that was removed when the river was regulated. Witigone Jan von Stráž belonged to the owners ; his successors added the village to the Bechyně manor .
