South Bohemian Region

The South Bohemian Region covers 10,057 square kilometers with dense forests, numerous lakes, and the Bohemian Forest mountains along the German and Austrian borders.

The region transformed after World War II when its German-speaking population left, leading to demographic changes and the preservation of traditional Czech culture.

South Bohemia maintains a strong tradition of fish farming with hundreds of artificial ponds created since medieval times, including the 489-hectare Rožmberk pond.

České Budějovice serves as the regional capital, connecting seven districts through an extensive transportation network of railways and roads across the territory.

The region contains the 1,378-meter Plechý mountain peak and features multiple Renaissance castles, including the Červená Lhota chateau built above a water reservoir.
