The village of Tukleky and the hamlet of Svatá Anna are administrative parts of Oslov.
The village was named after its founder, who was a noble named Osel. The name Osel literally means 'donkey' in Czech.[2]
Oslov is located about 11 kilometres (7 mi) north of Písek and 50 km (31 mi) north of České Budějovice. It lies in the Tábor Uplands. The highest point is at 435 m (1,427 ft) above sea level. The municipality is situated on an elevated plateau between the Vltava and Otava rivers, on the shores of the Orlík Reservoir, which is built on both these rivers. The confluence of the Otava and Lomnice is located on the western municipal border.
The first written mention of Oslov is from 1167, when the village was donated to the convent in Doksany.[2] Later it belonged to the Zvíkov estate.[3]
The railway from Písek to Milevsko passes through the outlying part of the municipal territory, but there is no train station. The municipality is served by the train station in neighbouring Vlastec.

The main landmark of Oslov is the Church of Saint Leonard. Originally a Gothic church, it was first documented in 1384. It was completely rebuilt into its current form in 1788.[6]
The Červená Railway Bridge is located on the municipal border. It was built over the Orlík Reservoir in 1886–1889. It is a valuable technical monument.[7]
- Martin Josef Říha (1839–1907), Bishop of České Budějovice
