Vodňany, Historic town in South Bohemian Region, Czech Republic.
The urban core of Vodňany extends across a network of streets surrounding a central square, positioned 398 meters above sea level in the Strakonice District.
The settlement received town privileges from King John of Bohemia in 1336, developing from a Slavic settlement into a market town during King Ottokar II's reign.
The Secondary Fishing School and Research Institute of Fish Culture and Hydrobiology maintain the centuries-old traditions of pond farming in the region.
Travelers reach Vodňany through the I/20 road connecting major cities, with railway service available on the line from Číčenice to Stožec-Nové Údolí.
The local fish farms produce a specific variety of carp under the registered trademark Omega3kapr, continuing a tradition from the 15th century.
