Geographical location

Jindřichův Hradec District lies in southeastern Bohemia; its southern border is also the state border with Austria.

Landscape and water

The Třeboň Basin in the district lies at elevations of approximately 400 to 500 metres. The gently flowing Lužnice and Nežárka rivers contribute to extensive marshlands and a significant pond landscape. More than 2,500 fishponds used for fish farming cover approximately 7 percent of the district. Rožmberk is designated as the largest fishpond in the Czech Republic and covers 720 hectares. The Třeboňsko Protected Landscape Area is included on the UNESCO list.

Culture and history

In the 16th century, pond construction expanded considerably under builders such as Štěpánek Netolický and Jakub Krčín of Jelčany. The historic centres of Jindřichův Hradec, Třeboň and Slavonice are designated urban monument reserves. The castle and chateau complex of Jindřichův Hradec is considered the third-largest chateau complex in the Czech Republic. The Jindřichův Hradec District Museum houses Krýza's Crèche, described as the world's largest mechanical nativity scene.

The monastery in Třeboň, Jindřichův Hradec Chateau and Červená Lhota Chateau are listed as national cultural monuments. Červená Lhota offers an English-style park, a boat trip in a rented rowing boat and access to the chateau chapel. The Black Tower at Jindřichův Hradec Chateau can be visited independently and without a guide.
