Road cycling

The small town in South Bohemia is a nice stopover on a bike tour through the Czech Republic. There is a beautiful city center and a view of the historic moated castle at the mouth of the Volynka in the Otava is also worthwhile. And of course, such a city has a very practical use: there are enough shops, cafes and restaurants to strengthen. Incidentally, Strakonice also has bicycle history: Here there was a sprint score in the context of the International Peace Race.

Hiking

Strakonice, at the confluence of the Otava and Volyňka rivers, has around 22,000 inhabitants. It was founded long before the birth of Christ at one of the gold panning sites of the Celts in South Bohemia. The water castle built here in the 12th century was initially the residence of the Bavors of Strakonitz and came into the possession of the Order of St. John in the 15th century. Strakonice was granted town rights in 1367.

The Strakonice settlement is originally one of the gold panning sites from the Celtic period in southern Bohemia. It was built around a moated castle at the confluence of the Volyňka and the Otava.
