Pasohlávky is located about 31 kilometres (19 mi) south of Brno. It lies in the Dyje–Svratka Valley. The highest point is the hill Hradisko at 221 m (725 ft) above sea level. The municipality is situated on the northwestern shore of the Nové Mlýny Reservoir.
The first written mention of Pasohlávky is from 1276, under its original name Uherčice na Bílém břehu. Because of the construction of the Nové Mlýny reservoirs, the cadastral area of the neighbouring village of Mušov was joined to Pasohlávky on 1 January 1980 and most of the inhabitants moved to Pasohlávky. The area of Mušov was subsequently flooded.[2]
