Maršov is a municipality and village in Brno-Country District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 500 inhabitants.
Etymology
The name Maršov is derived from the personal name Mareš, meaning "Mareš's village".[2]
Geography
Maršov is located about 17 kilometres (11 mi) northwest of Brno. It lies in the Křižanov Highlands. The highest point is the hill Krajina at 514 m (1,686 ft) above sea level. The stream Maršovský potok originates here and flows to the north. The stream Bílý potok flows along the southern municipal border.
In the eastern part of the municipality is a lake called Kaolínové jezírko. It was created artificially by flooding a kaolin mine.[2]
