Třeboň · Summer
Třeboň in summer
Beaches · Bikes · Evenings · Mosquitoes
Summer is when Třeboň is liveliest: dams full of bikes, café terraces on the square, the little train round Svět. Know a few tricks and you can have it to yourself even in August.
Where to swim
- The Opatovický fishpond – a small beach by the holiday centre on the northern edge, and another at Doubí.
- Třeboň Water World at Aurora – with outdoor pools too since 2023.
The fishponds are first and foremost working reservoirs. In summer, the regional public health authorities (krajské hygienické stanice) monitor bathing-water quality and publish it on their websites.
The rhythm of a summer day
| Time | What |
|---|---|
| 6:30–10:00 | Bike or walk along the dams – cool, empty, birds |
| 10:00–15:00 | Water, shade, lunch, a siesta |
| 15:00–18:00 | The château or the brewery cellars (6 °C) |
| 19:00–22:00 | The square, the Svět dam at sunset |
Mosquitoes
A fishpond landscape has mosquitoes in the warm months. They are worst at dusk by the water and in the woods around the peat bogs.
- Ask your host about window screens.
- For an evening walk, take long sleeves and repellent.
- In the morning and at midday, on open, breezy dams, there are fewest mosquitoes.
