Třeboň
A Renaissance town surrounded by hundreds of man-made fishponds, with a Rosenberg family castle, colourful squares and waterside paths. Known for carp and peat-based spa treatments.
The fishpond system around Třeboň, built in the 16th century with the Rožmberk Pond as its largest, is protected as a biosphere reserve. The autumn carp harvest is a major local event. The town square retains Renaissance houses with gabled façades. Třeboň Castle lets visitors tour the living quarters of the Rosenberg family, and nearby is the neo-Gothic mausoleum of the Schwarzenberg family. The town is home to the Regent brewery and a peat spa. It is about 60 km from Český Krumlov, roughly an hour's drive.
