South Bohemian Region: A holiday riding the waves

Let the current of Czechia’s longest river carry you along and discover the most beautiful parts of South Bohemia. Whether you bike or walk along the Vltava, tackle its rapids on a boat or a raft, the beauty of South Bohemia’s countryside is sure to take your breath away. Especially when you set eyes on the largest pond in the world!

Just like its exquisite châteaux, water is also a big part of South Bohemia’s appeal. After all, its landscape of lakes even features on its logo. And no wonder! One of the region’s treasures is the pond system in Třeboň, a unique network found nowhere else in the world, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and boasting the largest pond in the world – Rožmberk.

And water is the element running through another of South Bohemia’s UNESCO-listed attractions – the tradition of timber rafting, which you can try out for yourself below the walls of the UNESCO château in Český Krumlov, for instance.

Like the idea of riding the waves? If so, you have to try another phenomenon that is truly Czech, canoeing and boating! Pack your buddies, kids and camping gear into your canoe and enjoy a weekend or even a whole week on the most beautiful of Czech rivers. You can’t go wrong on the Vltava!
