Beautiful silhouettes of small medieval towns, together with provincial churches and snowy farmhouses, dominate the picturesque region of South Bohemia which also features a large number of fish ponds, large forests and peat-bogs.

The countryside of this region has not been affected by large industrial plants and there are a number of protected areas located here. This region is a sought-after tourist destination not only for its beautiful nature but also for a number of historic sights and good conditions for cycling and water sports.
