Bathing jetties on the rivers in České Budějovice
Natural swimming in the rivers in České Budějovice has become a popular activity not only among locals but also visitors to the city. Easy access to the water is facilitated by bathing jetties located along the banks of the Vltava and Malše rivers at several points.
The revitalization of riverbanks and the revival of traditional urban river baths, which were an integral part of social life in the first half of the 20th century, has occurred in České Budějovice. The water quality in the Vltava and Malše rivers has greatly improved due to the decline of industrial activity, making it ideal for leisurely refreshment in the heart of the South Bohemian capital. Bathing jetties facilitate easy access to the water and provide space for relaxation and soaking up energy from the sun's rays.
Whether you opt for one-piece striped swimsuits in the style of the 1920s or modern boardshorts, the experience of a summer swim in the river and the refreshment on hot days remains unchanged. On the jetties, you'll also encounter local communities of avid swimmers who spend all their free time by the water, adding to the local color. Authenticity is guaranteed in this case! It seems like a perfect way to spend this summer.
Accessibility
On the Vltava River, you can find bathing jetties at Meteor, Luční weir, above Jirásek weir opposite the summer swimming pool, and near the sandy beaches at Voříšek's yard on both the left and right banks of the river. Additionally, there are two more jetties on the Malše River above the Large and Small weirs.
