Česká Kanada, Cultural landscape in Jindřichův Hradec District, Czech Republic.

Česká Kanada is a hilly, heavily forested landscape on the Bohemian-Moravian border, continued by Austria's Waldviertel. Its highest point is Vysoký kámen at 738 m, with Šibeník, Kunějovský vrch and Studnice close behind. Boulders, rock basins and perched rocks lie scattered on the mostly flat summits, and ponds such as Kačležský (176 ha) and Krvavý (127 ha) serve fish farming and swimming.

The name was coined by Jaroslav Arnošt Trpák, a Jindřichův Hradec native and Prague journalist, after a trip through North America. The first documented use of "Česká Kanada" is in his 1928 article; the name then spread among tourists in the 1930s. After 1948 it vanished from public use and survived among tramps and paddlers, who narrowed it to the border forests.
