Třeboň Essentials

Třeboň is a historic town centered around a massive Renaissance chateau and a unique system of medieval fishponds. This selection features the neo-Gothic Schwarzenberg Tomb, the 14th-century Augustinian monastery, and the town's preserved fortifications, including the Budějovice and Novohradské gates. The surrounding Třeboňsko Protected Landscape Area offers a network of cycling paths through a man-made wetland ecosystem, anchored by Rožmberk, the largest fishpond in the Czech Republic, and the scenic Svět pond.

This collection features secluded chapels dedicated to St. Vitus and St. John of Nepomuk, often situated near the region's historic pond systems like Opatovický. Highlights include a 19th-century brick shrine near Břilice and the "Třeboň Carp" sculpture, which reflects the town's centuries-old pond-farming tradition.

Třeboň Fish Ponds

The Třeboň fish pond system is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a masterpiece of 16th-century landscape engineering. Developed primarily by Jakub Krčín and Štěpánek Netolický, these artificial lakes are interconnected by the Golden Canal (Zlatá stoka), a complex water management network. The system includes Rožmberk, the largest pond in the Czech Republic, and Svět, which sits directly on the 49th parallel. These waters support centuries-old carp farming traditions and provide critical habitats for migratory birds.
