South Bohemia is, of course, all about water and waterways. In the Budějovicko region, we offer the perfect combination of rivers and ponds, making the range of water-based fun truly diverse. Whether you want to set sail or take a dip, we have countless opportunities for you to enjoy. On the Vltava Trail between České Budějovice and Týn nad Vltavou, a variety of boats and vessels can navigate thanks to the river's navigability. From small human-powered crafts to large sightseeing steamers, there's something for everyone. And anyone can be a captain – rental services offer motorboats that don’t require a special license. You can even rent houseboats where you can sleep and enjoy a holiday on the water's surface.
