I believe the name of the village/region cited is "Bystritsy" (or "Bystřice nad Pernštejnem" in full) in Czech Republic. The Svratka river runs around 5-6km East of Bystritsy, in Vysochina region. The German name for that village is "Bistritz ob Pernstein" |

Mattei, thank you, I believe I located it on a current map below. The Svratka River can clearly be seen east of the town.
