South Bohemia, a region that has been managed in harmony with the rules of nature for hundreds of years, will stun every visitor with its beauty. People who come to see the historic sights will understand how rich and enlightened the aristocratic families must have been and what exquisite artists and craftsmen must have lived here. They have left numerous historical sights for future generations as a document of a rich and manifold history: old towns full of life and culture, majestic Gothic churches, wistful Renaissance castles, cloisters, monuments of folk architecture, or interesting technical buildings as well as ingenious pond system.

South Bohemia abounds in numerous ponds, pine woods and large peat bogs; the region is enlivened with the silhouettes of towns and country churches that uniquely harmonize with the white marsh homesteads. This is the picture of the typical Southern-Bohemian country in the surroundings of České Budějovice, Třeboň or Veselí nad Lužnicí. However, South Bohemia comprises also of the rough mountainous area of the majestic Šumava, Novohradské Mountains (Novohradské Hory) and Blanský forest (Blanský les). Also the region to the south-west of Jindřichův Hradec contains a lot of natural beauty - it is rightly called the Czech Canada due to its little disturbed land, abundant freely scattered granite blocks, high hills and large ponds.
