Roztoky
Template:Geobox Roztoky (Czech pronunciation: [ˈrostokɪ]; German: Rostok, older Rostock[1]) is a small town in the Czech Republic. It is located on the Vltava River, just north of Prague, the country's capital. There were 8,208 inhabitants registered in the town, as of January, 1st 2016. However, the actual population might be higher due to significant development of the town in the recent years and the fact that many of the new inhabitants might not have registered their permanent residence there yet. The town was first mentioned in historical documents in 1233 CE.
