Třeboň Natural Protected Zone
By request (2 days/1 night) April - Oct. - 4950 Kč Per Person
In The Shadow of the Five Petal Rose

Once upon a time there was a place full of swamps and marshes that nobody wanted to live in. A wise man fell in love with this land and he worked hard to changed it. He had the water channeled from these wetlands and collected into great ponds, where trees were planted on the banks. The wise man spoke to the waters, saying "from now on you will benefit the people and not be the cause of their suffering", and into each pond he placed carp. This land then became rich, and the story of this man immortal. Join us as we explore the land of Petr Vlk of Rožmberk.

Třeboň

This district town has several interesting historic attractions. The fortified castle town is home to a regional archive and an ancient brewery. We can simply enjoy the surrounding parks and ponds. Nowhere else in the Czech lands is it more clear just how important the ponds are in the history of this nation, and how famous and wealthy they made the family Rožmberk. Because of it's uniqueness, this whole area is designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
 

Jindřichův Hrade

The river Nežárka and the great pond named Vajgar are at the center of this romantic town, which belonged to the same dynasty as Třeboň and Česky Krumlov. They are each known by the motif of the 'Five Petal Rose' that can found here in carvings and glass. The quiet parks and courtyards are complemented by traditional Southern Bohemian architectural styles. Additionally, one of the treasures to be found here is the world's largest mechanized, hand carved Nativity.
