The municipality covers an area of , and has a population of 761 (as at 3 July 2006).〔(Olomouc Regional Statistical Office: Municipalities of Olomouc District )〕 Mladeč lies approximately north-west of Olomouc and east of Prague. The Mladeč caves are located near Mladeč. Mladeč is an Aurignacian archaeological site with directly dated remains of early modern human dating to about 31,000 radiocarbon years. The site contains remains of at least half a dozen individuals, including children. They are the oldest bones that indicate a human settlement, or community in Europe. The Mladec collection also includes Aurignacian tools and art associated with early modern humans.〔(Prehistoric Bones Point to First Modern-Human Settlement in Europe )〕 The remains appear to show some Neanderthal-like features. The presence of remnant (skull ) bones that are not present in the early modern Africans and Near Easterners do not necessarily indicate inter-breeding with Neanderthals.
