Slepé rameno Malše

Slepé rameno Malše, River arm formation in České Budějovice, Czech Republic.

Slepé rameno Malše is an artificially created closed riverbed where the Malše meets the Vltava, with historical fortification features visible along Zátkovo nábřeží. Walking paths line the banks, allowing visitors to explore the water formation while observing local plant life and connecting to nearby city districts.

The Vltava flowed through this channel until 1930, when regulation works carried out between 1927 and 1931 moved the confluence of the Malše and Vltava to a new channel. The original bed was cut off by an earth dam in front of the Přední mlýn, and on 12 November 1930 the Jirásek weir raised the level so the arm filled with water from the Malše.

The area connects to Sokolský Island through a footbridge, where a bathing facility operated above the weir for the Sokol organization beginning in 1899. This facility reflects the site's importance to local community life and recreational activities.

The site is easily accessible on foot with level pathways that connect directly from the city center. It is best visited during dry weather when the walks are most enjoyable and allow for comfortable movement along the banks.

A large swastika pulled from the town hall on 5 May 1945 was thrown into the Slepé rameno. Before 1946 an open-air ice rink for HC Stadion was created on the arm, with stands for 2,000 spectators and refreshments such as roasted chestnuts. Since 2005 the Múzy na vodě festival has been held here during the summer season.
