Trebon Attractions

To the east of Ceske Budejovice lies the walled town of Trebon. Established in the 12th Century, the town has a long history. The tradition of fishponds in the surrounding marshy lands developed in the 14th Century to support carp. It was expanded in the 16th Century by the Rozmberk family who incorporate an elaborate system of canals joining the ponds. At its peak, the fishponds numbered up to 6, 000 individual ponds.

Trebon suffered a serious damage due to war and fires in the 17th and 18th Century which reduced much of the old architecture to rubble. In the years to follow the town was completely restored and today is a beautiful little town that has not been over run by tourists. Trebon boasts a14th Century castle, Renaissance and baroque architecture, particularly around the main square of Masarykovo namesti, as well as spas and bird watching opportunities in the surrounding areas.
