The Třeboňsko House of Nature, Nature education center in Třeboň, Czech Republic.
The Třeboňsko House of Nature is an education center located within Třeboň Castle, featuring multiple exhibition rooms that display regional ecosystems. The spaces present the diversity of freshwater systems, wetlands, and forests found throughout the Třeboňsko landscape.
The permanent exhibition 'Třeboňsko – Landscape and People' was created between 2002 and 2004 and opened to the public by President Václav Havel on 23 April 2004. Part of its 7.5 million CZK cost came from the EU PHARE CBC fund. In 2010 the exhibition became the Třeboňsko House of Nature, the first of thirteen such centres of the Czech Nature Conservation Agency.
The exhibition 'Landscape and People' connects visitors with local traditions through displays of fish ponds, peatlands, and river landscapes. You can see how communities have shaped and lived with this natural environment over time.
The exhibition occupies six rooms in the Třeboň Castle complex and is run by the town of Třeboň. Individual visits are self-guided; groups can book a tour in advance. The centre also organises guided nature walks and cycling excursions with expert guides, and visitor brochures on the Golden Canal, local fish farming and the Old and New River can be downloaded from its website.
The exhibition's mascot is the white-tailed eagle, a species that returned to the Třeboňsko region in 1984 after being exterminated there 150 years earlier and now nests permanently. For children, a puppet of the oak sprite Milda Dubulík guides them through the displays and printed activity sheets.
