Recreational possibilities
We believe that from a wide range of recreation options, everyone will choose at the age of one (in fact, we already had even younger fully satisfied visitors) within a hundred years. The huge advantage of this flat landscape is that you are almost everywhere on the bike, and this will make your distance significantly shorter. It is only up to you whether you prefer coolness sunbathing on the sandy beach at the sandpit whether fishing before going to theand from where you will probably not go back empty, but with baskets filled with blueberries, cranberries, various mushrooms or sticks to the bonfire. Wolf is naturists recommended as one of the best places in the Czech Republic, where everyone will find a suitable place.
We recommend cycling around ponds, from which you can take a day trip to Třeboň. Within half an hour you can drive by Hluboká nad Vltavou, Červená Lhota Castle or in the castle in Trebon. However, if you want to leave your vacation properly in the body, you will rent a boat and you go to the water. Or play on local playgrounds football, volleyball directly in Vlkov tennis in the neighboring Veselí. Newly paved bicycle paths are also ideal for in-line skating. We recommend the wind windsurfing and for bold jumps to water from up to 8 meter jumps to a local quarry. Few then resist the end of the day at bonfirefriends with mosquitoes or in a local pub.
Tips for trips
NEW - Cycle route Lužnice. In 2014 there was marked a cycling trail between Veselí nad Lužnicí and České Velenice called Lužnice. As the name suggests, the route is reasonably trying to copy the Lužnice River, while leading cyclists with suitable surfaces, wading in the marshes and mud you do not really need to be afraid. That's why it's possible to ride it on all types of wheels including a scooter.
Autumn catch of ponds. In a few pictures we want to show you that even though autumn is coming and summer is gone forever, it is still beautiful here in Vlkov. Come with us, for example, to catch one of the surrounding ponds. The Třeboň region has been a synonym for the region of ponds for many centuries. The ponds were created by draining the originally swampy landscape and are a place of fish farming, mostly carp. The traditional holiday for everyone is the fishing of the largest Czech pond Rožmberk.
Around the ponds. For our visitors we have prepared a description of the way around the ponds around Vlkov. It is best to ride it on a bicycle and wind in the back, but we also believe that our pictures will be of interest to you.
Pond Rosenberg - the largest South Bohemian (and also Czech) pond was built in the years 1584 - 1590 on the river Lužnice about 6 km north of Třeboň by the well-known Rosenberg regent Jakub Krčín from Jelčany. To secure it, he developed an ingenious project for a water canal called the New River to drain excess water from the Lužnice to Nežárka.
Lock Deep nad Vltavou was established in the sixteenth century by reconstruction from an originally Gothic castle. The castle is set in beautiful gardens in the middle of an extensive English park. In the immediate vicinity of the chateau is the Aleš South Bohemian Gallery with a unique exhibition of Czech medieval art (the famous collection of Gothic Madonnas) and an equally attractive collection of works from the twentieth century. Aleš's South Bohemian Gallery also serves as a place for traditional classical music concerts.
Trebon - a spa town in the middle of the eponymous basin, which stands out especially for its beautiful landscape full of ponds and beautiful nooks. An ideal destination for a day bike trip. In the city there is swimming, a chateau and various hospitality facilities.
Soběslavská and Veselská blata - large areas where peat used to be mined. Today they are important natural monuments. Borkovická blata educational trail (PLA) is another opportunity to visit. On the trail you can admire the protected flora of the mud (eg carnivorous sundew round-leaved) or examples from the times when peat was still mined on the mud. If you walk the whole path - along the swinging paths above the swamp - you will certainly not be disappointed. The villages on the mud are famous for the folk architecture of the rural Baroque.
Steam train JHMD - The rarity of southern Bohemia is historical narrow-gauge railway between Jindřichův Hradec and Nová Bystřice (or Obrataní). The track is operated by a private carrier and during the summer season you can ride at the weekends with a historic train driven by a steam locomotive. Can not recommend.
Camp - a historic town founded by the Hussites in 1420, which boasts medieval historical core. It is a district town with a rich historical heritage: Kotnov Castle, Bechyňská Gate, City Hall, Catacombs, Museum, Renaissance Waterworks, Gothic Church in Žižkovo Square and lots of other attractions worth seeing.
Gmünd Aquapark - If the weather is not suitable for nature trips and swimming, you can go to the water world in Gmünd. Here you will find a rock salt pool with salt from Bad Ischl, a sports pool, a warm whirlpool, a 65 m long water slide, an extensive sauna world and many other attractions.
Ponies in Pelejovice - Especially for small children, from the age of three, we recommend a visit to the riding club in Pelejovice. It is possible to arrange both an individual ride and the entire course. The big advantage is the individual approach and family atmosphere. Due to the driving distance, it is ideal to combine with a bike path.
Bechyně - a town west of Tábor famous for its spas. We recommend a visit to the castle, confectionery on the square or a romantic walk through the valley of the river Lužnice. The first electrified line in Central Europe - "Bechyňka" constructed by František Křižík - leads from Tábor to Bechyně.
Jindřichův Hradec - a town east of Vlkov. You can visit by bike (approx. 26 km) or more conveniently by car. We recommend visiting lock, explore the beautiful historic center, wooden movable crib, or sit in some of the patisseries. There is also a colorful singing fountain in the city center.
Bošilec - a village between the Bošilec and Horusický ponds. In the middle of the village Gothic church from the 14th century with the famous fish-shaped pulpit. Typical folk buildings from the 19th century.
Cervena Lhota - a castle on a rocky island surrounded by water with access via a bridge. The original fortress was rebuilt into a chateau in the 17th century. Exhibition open to the public. A lasting experience is also provided by cycling around the pond or boating.
