This place lies in 458 metres above sea level in the valley of the Polenka Stream. From the eastern and souththern side bordered with the Bítovy mountains with the peaks Velky Bitov (713 m, GC1VKQT), Maly Bitov (668 m, GC1VKQV) a Doubrava (727 m, GC2HMYP a GC2HMYN).

The nearest neighbours of Polen are Pusperk (GC1MDZF), Polenka and Slatina on North, Drslavice on East, Mlynec and Zdeslav on Southwest and Cernikov on West.

History

The first written reference about the village comes from 1245. In the sheet which illustrates the disposal of Ujezd Presticky to Monastery of Kladruby by Queen Kunhuta, Blazej ze Svihova, the son of Budivoj of Svihov as an approver has been mentioned. Afterwards when the Pusperk Castle (originally known as Fuchsberg) had been built close to Polen, the village was sharing the destiny of this castle for centuries.
