Třeboň

The spa town of Třeboň is an important center of the Třeboň Basin, where you can walk beautiful hiking trails, the city center and use a variety of accommodation of all kinds. The city has been declared a city monument reserve and is the center of the Třeboňsko Protected Landscape Area.
It lies on Zlatá Stoka in the Jindřichův Hradec district about 20 km east of České Budějovice at an altitude of 434 m.

The beginnings of the town date back to the middle of the 12th century, when a settlement (or courtyard) was established on the trade route in the swampy area of ​​today's Třeboň region. The Czech name is first documented in 1262. At that time, the village belonged to the Vítkovec family. In the 13th century, Třeboň is already mentioned as a town. In the 14th century, the town was fortified and became the property of the Rosenbergs. It belonged to them continuously from 1366 until 1611 and this period was the time of the greatest expansion of the city. The peak period of Třeboň became the end of the 15th and 16th centuries in connection with the development of fish farming. An extensive pond and water management system was created in its vicinity, the Svět pond was established in the immediate vicinity of the town, and the largest pond in Bohemia, Rožmberk, was established nearby. Well-known pond keepers Štěpánek Netolický and Jakub Krčín acted as administrators of the area in the town.

During its existence, the city burned down several times, the heavy damage was left by the Thirty Years' War, and around 1640 almost all of its population fell victim to the plague. From 1660, the town was owned by the Schwarzenbergs, who began to rebuild the town. The mostly Baroque modifications thus gave Třeboň its current face. At the end of the 19th century, a seasonal spa was established here, using the healing properties of peat. The greatest modern development of the city began after World War II. After 1950, the spa was gradually expanded and rebuilt into an important sanatorium for the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Třeboň has a uniquely preserved fortification system. In the 1920s, Štěpánek Netolický supplemented the simple fortification from the end of the 14th century with a second fortification belt with bastions, a moat and a rampart. The entrance to the city is guarded by preserved massive gates - Hradecká and Novohradská (eastern) and newer Budějovická (western). Part of the city's defense system was today's Renaissance castle with a large park located on the southwest side of the historic center.

The natural center of Třeboň is its square, surrounded by burgher houses with Renaissance and Baroque gables. The most important building on the square is the town hall. In the middle of the square rises the Marian Column from 1781.

In the northwestern part of the city are the remains of a former Augustinian monastery from the 14th century with the church of St. Giles.

On the south side of the town is the Svět pond, on the banks of which there are recreation centers.

On the banks of the World, about 1.5 km from the center, is located in the Schwarzenberg Tomb Nature Park.
