Accommodation Strakonice

Southern Bohemia, Czech Republic

Area map česky

Strakonice lies where the Volyňka joins the Otava, beside a castle once held by the Knights of St John. The town is linked with the bagpipe tradition, celebrated at an international bagpipe festival, and with the manufacture of ČZ motorcycles. The Otava is popular with canoeists, and the hilly countryside suits cycling.
