The Třeboň region is a landscape of fishponds, dikes, and tree-lined avenues shaped by people over centuries — yet teeming with life. At its heart lies Renaissance Třeboň with a château and square, surrounded by the vast Rožmberk pond. We'll take you there from Prague, direct and hassle-free.
Třeboň lies in South Bohemia, in the Třeboň Basin between the Svět and Rožmberk ponds. The town is famous for its spa, historic reserve, and as the heart of the Třeboň Protected Landscape Area. First mentioned in writing in 1261 as Wittingau, its history runs deep.
Třeboň's story is tied to the House of Rosenberg, who founded an Augustinian monastery here in the 14th century. The town became an impregnable fortress thanks to its late-14th-century walls. In the 16th century, alchemist Edward Kelley worked here, and later Třeboň became the seat of Petr Vok of Rosenberg.
From Prague, it's about 155 km — roughly a 2-hour drive. Your driver will take you comfortably all the way, whether you're heading to the spa, touring the château, or exploring the ponds.

What to See & Do in Třeboň
From Gothic landmarks to a centuries-old fish-farming legacy – Třeboň serves up a rich mix of experiences.
Pond
Rožmberk Pond
Rožmberk is the largest fishpond in the Czech Republic, with a dam stretching over two kilometres. It was built by master fish-farmer Jakub Krčín at the end of the 16th century.
An avenue of ancient oaks runs along the top of the dam. The calm water stretches all the way to the forests on the horizon.
Fish Farming
Pond Countryside
Hundreds of fishponds connected by man-made channels criss-cross the Třeboň region. In autumn, the traditional harvest takes place with boats and nets full of fish.
The entire landscape is a protected UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Local fish farmers raise the famous Třeboň carp.
Tomb
Schwarzenberg Tomb
By the Domanín Pond stands the neo-Gothic tomb of the Schwarzenberg family. Its slender tower with gargoyles recalls an English cathedral.
It is surrounded by a romantic English-style park. It ranks among the most beautiful buildings of its kind in the country.
Square
Historic Square
Masaryk Square is lined with colourful Renaissance houses featuring arcades and richly decorated gables. Life buzzes around the fountain and cosy cafés.
