And good morning. Welcome to Our Man in Prague.
And this weekend we’re off cycling again. And this time we’re going to Třeboň in South Bohemia,
which is a famous area known for its carp, if you like carp, and for all its cycling
routes. So join us in Třeboň for a weekend away. Good morning. Welcome to Třeboň in Southern
Bohemia. And we’re coming on another cycling break. We’re just one night actually. And we’re
now in the town of Třeboň, which is very nice. Let’s have a quick look around. Třeboň is known
for its natural beauty, architectural heritage, and extensive fish pond system. It’s an
important destination for both cultural tourism and nature-based activities. Třeboň is
a well-preserved spa town with a rich history dating back to the 12th century. The town center
features Renaissance and Baroque architecture, pedestrian friendly streets and numerous small
cafes and shops. It has a popular spot for wellness tourism due to its natural resources and
spa facilities. So, we’re in Southern Bohemia and this area near Třeboň where we’re at is full of
these little lakes. Let me just turn the camera around. And there we are. There’s one of them. But
there’s actually hundreds of them in this area all over the place. Třeboň is surrounded by a network
of over 500 man-made fish ponds. The largest in town is these Svet pond which covers more than 200
hectares. These ponds were developed from the 14th to 17th centuries for fish farming particularly
carp which remains a regional specialtity. [Music] We’ve not had the best luck with
the weather so far. Drove down from Prague this morning. We’re staying at
a guest house in Třeboň overnight and it’s a bit overcast. It’s been threatening
to rain, but luckily so far it’s not. A well-maintained 12 km trail surrounds Svet
Pond, suitable for walking and cycling. During our visit, we explored 44 km of the local
cycling network which connects various ponds, forests, and small villages around Třeboň.
The flat terrain makes it accessible to a wide range of cyclists. Like most places in
the Czech Republic, the refreshment comes in the form of beer. The local brewery in the Třeboň
region is Bohemia Regent. Our visit just happened to coincide with the Jakub Krcin Festival which
includes fencing tournaments, demonstrations of Renaissance dances, juggling performances,
a flag show and historic music concerts. Třeboň is also home to the state castle which
is one of the largest castle complexes in the Czech Republic. What does that say? Many
of the buildings of the town are built in the peasant barack style which feature on
stucco gables and facade decorations. And there’s no shortage of fish restaurants
which is where we’re heading to shortly. [Music] Ivana is looking for carp
chips. Carp is massive here. And most of the restaurants specialise in
carp which they catch from all those big ponds. The prices in the local restaurants
are very reasonable with most of the meals coming in under 300 crowns which is
less than £10 and round about $13. I must admit I’m not a big fish fan, but when in
Rome, or rather when in Třeboň, what can you do? So, we’re just sitting down to have a meal in
this nice street here. And this is the menu. So, they specialise in fish here with all
the ponds where all the carp is. And we’re going to go for the fish platter which
is shared between two people which includes Roasted Zander trout fillet fries from
Třeboň’s carp. And that is 395 czk for two people which is about 13 quid. Yeah. And
this is our fish platter. What we got on here? We’ve got carp. We’ve got trout. Zander,
whatever that is, and we’ve got a garlic dip. As we’ve only got one night here in Třeboň,
what else to do but get dancing with the locals. So, I hope you’ve enjoyed our trip to
Třeboň as we did. And don’t forget to give us a like and subscribe or leave
