- The castle is closed on Mondays, so plan your visit accordingly.

Třeboň is the heart of South Bohemia's unique pond landscape, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve shaped by artificial lakes dating back to the 16th century. The largest of these, Rožmberk, is a masterpiece of medieval water engineering. The town is also a prominent spa destination, using local peat and mud for treatments targeting musculoskeletal issues. The Renaissance Třeboň Castle, with its expansive English-style park, was once the grand seat of the Rožmberk and Schwarzenberg dynasties. Gastronomy in Třeboň is synonymous with fish, particularly the 'Třeboň carp,' which is celebrated in local menus alongside pike and perch. The historic town square is lined with colorful gabled houses and home to the Regent Brewery, which has been producing beer since 1379. Another significant site is the neogothic Schwarzenberg Tomb, located in a scenic wooded area just outside the town center. The atmosphere is quaint and deeply tied to the surrounding water and nature. The flat terrain makes Třeboň a paradise for casual cyclists, with well-marked trails running along pond dykes and through pine forests. It is an easy 30-minute drive from České Budějovice. While summer is well-suited for outdoor activities, late autumn (October/November) gives a unique cultural experience during the traditional pond harvesting, where thousands of carp are caught using centuries-old methods.
