Located in the southern part of the country, it shares borders with Austria and Germany. The largest town – and also the centre of the South Bohemian Region – is České Budějovice with a population of 100,000. This is where the world-famous Budweiser Budvar beer is brewed. There are many other gems in South Bohemia, such as the town of Český Krumlov (UNESCO), Hluboká nad Vltavou with its beautiful Neo-Gothic castle, and Holašovice (UNESCO), a typical South Bohemian village with Rustic Baroque architecture. www.jiznicechy.cz The town of České Budějovice Europe Czech Republic South Bohemia Basic Facts about the Czech Republic Offi cial name Czech Republic Capital city Prague Total population 10.5 million Offi cial language Czech Currency Czech crown Time zone GMT + 01:00 Electricity Type C, Type E Country calling code +420 All of the Czech Republic Internet, GSM has Internet and mobile phone coverage.

The town of Písek Landmarks Famous noble families left an enormous breath-taking legacy in South Bohemia. Even today, you can admire historic towns full of life and culture, majestic castles, and charming chateaux. As if with the wave of a magic wand, a visit to these landmarks will transport you back hundreds of years. Thanks to their uniqueness, both the crooked alleys of the fairy-tale town of Český Krumlov and the village of Holašovice, with its marvellously preserved village green, were added to the UNESCO List of Cultural and Natural Heritage Sites. Landštejn Castle The town of Český Krumlov UNESCO The village of Holašovice UNESCO The Beauty of Untouched Nature Nature lovers can enjoy the beautiful, almost untouched nature that South Bohemia has to off er, full of forests as well as harmoniously altered landscapes with numerous fi shponds and rivers. Šumava National Park represents a unique, natural environment, which is justifi ably labelled as the green roof of Europe thanks to its diverse, uninterrupted forestation. The Třeboň region is also extremely valuable. Although its landscape has been cultivated by humans for hundreds of years, resulting in more than 500 man-made fi shponds and canals, very rare, natural wealth has been preserved. Museums and Galleries Dozens of museums and galleries attract visitors with much more than just exhibitions documenting the history of the region and its various areas of life. All tourists who enjoy art will truly come into their own – including admirers of beautiful photographs, paintings, graphic works, sculptures, and glass art, those interested in folklore traditions, and even motorcycle and automobile enthusiasts. Seidel Photographic Studio Museum, Český Krumlov Aleš South Bohemian Gallery, Hluboká nad Vltavou Film Armoury, Housův mlýn (Housův Mill) Veterans Museum, Nová Bystřice Cultural Events Internationally renowned music festivals, theatre and fi lm performances, historical and folklore festivals, exhibitions of world-famous artists, as well as sports events – all of these are to be found in South Bohemia. The region also off ers a variety of gastronomy events, such as beer and fi sh festivals. Five-petalled Rose Celebrations, Český Krumlov International Music Festival Český Krumlov Audiovisual Festival Vltava žije (Vltava lives), České Budějovice Active Holidays South Bohemia is ideal for anyone who likes spending their leisure time actively. This is a great place for hiking, cycling, and adrenaline sports enthusiasts. Water sports fans can visit Lipno Dam, which is the largest water area in the Czech Republic, and raft ers and boaters will enjoy paddling or sailing down South Bohemia’s rivers. For golfers, there are six picturesque golf courses. Those who like winter sports will not come up short either. Although the Šumava area is particularly attractive for cross-country skiers, it also has something to off er those who prefer downhill skiing. Hiking and Cycling You can experience the beauty of the South Bohemian landscape in many ways, but hiking will bring you into the closest contact with nature – there are over 5,000 kilometres of marked hiking trails in the region. You can also explore the charming countryside on your bike, as the whole region has a dense network of marked bicycle routes. These routes will take you through the beautiful South Bohemian landscape: among the fi shponds, along the banks of the national Vltava River, and of course past many beautiful, historical landmarks. Lipno Treetop Walkway Gastronomy Experience Třeboň carp and other fi sh, well-prepared wild game, traditional kulajda (a creamy soup made with wild mushrooms), zelňáky (a local baked treat best described as savoury sauerkraut crackers), the South Bohemian style potato pancakes known as cmunda, and blueberry dumplings are only a small sample of the established staples of hearty South Bohemian cuisine. The gastronomy experience would not be complete without tasting the world-famous Czech beer that has been brewed here continuously since the 14th century using the same recipe. Several gastronomy events are held throughout the year, the most popular of which is the annual harvest of fi sh from the South Bohemian fi shponds, where visitors can learn about the centuries-old fi shing tradition and have the opportunity to taste a variety of delicacies made from fresh-caught fi sh. Spas and Relaxation South Bohemia – a spa for your body and soul. Peat and mud baths have been proven to have healing eff ects on the musculoskeletal system, and all of South Bohemia’s spas – which can be found in Třeboň, Bechyně and Vráž (in the Písek District) – focus on this type of treatment. Some hotels in South Bohemia off er a wide range of wellness and relaxation stays, where you can pamper yourself with such things as a chocolate body wrap or a relaxing beer bath.

Blaheta et al. (photo: T. Krejčí, E. Nováková (2×), Z. Říha) Transformation of the identity of a region: Theory and the empirical case of the perceptual regions of Bohemia and Moravia, Czech Republic Petr MAREK a * Abstract By using the concept of perceptual region – an essential part of the identity of a region and a part of every person’s mental map – this paper demonstrates a way to examine the understudied transformation of (the identity of) a region and, specifically, its territorial shape (boundaries). This concept effectively fuses the “institutionalisation of regions” theory and the methodologies of behavioural geography. This case study of the perceptual regions of Bohemia and Moravia shows how and why these historical regions and their boundary/boundaries developed, after a significant deinstitutionalisation by splitting into smaller regions in an administrative reform. Many people now perceive the Bohemian-Moravian boundary according to the newly-emerged regional boundaries, which often ignore old (historical) boundaries.

Destination attractiveness of the South Bohemian region from the viewpoint of spatial data analysis. Deturope, 8, 1: 92-111 Abstract The aim of this paper is the evaluation of the South Bohemia region's destination attractiveness. The dimensionality of data describing the chosen attractions of the area was reduced by the factor analysis into six factors which served as an input for hot spot analysis. The hot spots analysis identifies clusters of high and low values of the factors. Cluster analysis of factor served then as a tool for a typology of the South Bohemian region according to its attractiveness for tourism. The paper shows the possibilities of spatial statistics and spatial data analysis usage in the evaluation of the area attractiveness. Obtained results can be used in the decision sphere for tourism attractions planning. Keywords: destination attractiveness, destination management, hot spots analysis, spatial statistics Abstract Cílem příspěvku je hodnocení destinační atraktivnosti Jižních Čech. Dimenzionalita dat popisujících vybrané atraktivity v území byla redukována pomocí faktorové analýzy do šesti faktorů, jež posloužily jako vstup pro hot spots analýzu. Ta posloužila k identifikaci vysokých a nízkých hodnot daného faktoru atraktivnosti.

  • Depopulation and Extinction of Villages in Moravia and the Czech Part of Silesia Since World War II
    land Article Depopulation and Extinction of Villages in Moravia and the Czech Part of Silesia since World War II Antonín Vaishar * , Hana Vavrouchová , Andrea Lešková and Veronika Peˇrinková Department of Applied and Landscape Ecology, Faculty of AgriSciences, Mendel University, Brno-sever-Cernˇ á Pole 613 00, Czech Republic; [email protected] (H.V.); [email protected] (A.L.); [email protected] (V.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: A thousand villages disappeared in Czechia during the course of historic development. There are two basic causes of the disappearance of villages: artificial human intervention (planned changes or hostile liquidation) and gradual depopulation due to remoteness and poor conditions for development, possibly in combination with natural disasters. The greatest number of extinct villages is related to the period after World War II, when many villages in the borderland, from which the German population was displaced, were demolished or abandoned. The aim of the article is to clarify the causes of the extinction of villages, its impact on the landscape and on the settlement system, as well as the possibilities of preserving the historical and cultural memory of extinct places. Finally, the danger of extinction of villages at the present time is discussed. This article points out that it is currently not necessary or effective to have the dense network of settlements that was present in the Middle Ages, when the population density was conditional to the limited technological potential of agriculture and transport. The main argument for preserving villages is their spiritual and cultural value, and their genius loci.

  • LEADER Local Action Groups and Their Innovative Approaches to Rural Development in South Bohemia in the Post-Crisis Period
    Rural Areas and Development, 14(2017) Jiří Sálus, Tomáš Pilař, Anna Bábíková, Věra Majerova 197 Česká zemědělská univerzita v Praze, Praha, Czech Republic [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] LEADER Local Action Groups and their innovative approaches to rural development in South Bohemia in the post-crisis period Abstract: The article is focused on the role of regional identity and local orga- nisation in rural development during and after the global economic crisis. The relationship among these phenomena was investigated on LEADER Local Action Group development documents 2007-2013 and 2014-2020 in the South Bohemia Region of the Czech Republic. The methodology is based on discursive analysis of text and socio-economic analysis. Keywords: innovation, local organisations, regional identity, rural development, South Bohemia © EUROPEAN RURAL DEVELOPMENT NETWORK www.rad.erdn.eu 198 Introduction Jiří Sálus, Tomáš Pilař, Anna Bábíková, Věra Majerova Věra Bábíková, Anna Pilař, Jiří Sálus, Tomáš The success of rural development in localities depends on many factors. The- se factors are of internal and external origin, which should be reflected in de- velopment documents. For this article, we have chosen the global economic crisis as an external factor affecting rural development. The crisis influenced the 2007-2013 European Union (EU) programming period. Within the planning of development strategies for 2014-2020, the consequences of that crisis are already known. Therefore, a shift from dysfunctional to functional innovation processes in strategic documents can be assumed. As development documents, the strategic plans of LEADER Local Action Groups (LAGs) in the Southern Bohemia Region (SBR) were selected.

  • Conditions of Development of Border Area Cooperation of the South Bohemian Region and Upper Austria
    Conditions of development of border area cooperation of the South Bohemian region and Upper Austria Podmínky rozvoje přeshraniční spolupráce Jihočeského kraje a Horního Rakouska D. BEDNÁŘOVÁ University of South Bohemia, České Budějovice, Czech Republic Abstract: Retailers are the strong group both in South Bohemia and in Upper Austria. The development of this sphere is one of the development programmes priorities of both regions. South Bohemia and Upper Austria, especially Muhlvier- tel region, are areas with a similar economic structure, which is an excellent presupposition for mutual cooperation. An advantage will be the improvement of marketing activity and information transfer. A better technical equipment and its full exploitation will be possible. The problems, however, which could arise from cooperation with foreign partners, should not be underestimated. Not only the language barrier is concerned but also different techniques, methods and expectations that might be caused by different customs and interests of the partners. An important aid to the entrepreneurs, either concer- ning consultant service, establishing contacts or further education, are economic chambers and other institutions concer- ned with retail business development. Key words: retailers, border area cooperation, region, economic structure, South Bohemian Economic Chamber Abstrakt: Malí a střední podnikatelé jsou silně zastoupenou skupinou jak v Jihočeském kraji, tak i v Horním Rakousku. Jejich rozvoj je jednou z priorit rozvojových programů obou uvedených regionů. Jihočeský kraj a Horní Rakousko, zvláště pak region Mühlviertel, jsou oblasti s podobnou hospodářskou strukturou, což je dobrým předpokladem pro vzájemnou spolupráci. Zvláště přínosná by byla spolupráce v rámci sítí podniků nebo klastrů. Výhodou je zlepšení marketingové čin- nosti a přenosu informací, umožní se dokonalejší technické vybavení a jeho plné využití.
