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.
