Tabor

Tábor straddles a rocky ridge between the Lužnice River and Tismenický Stream in South Bohemia, and this defensible setting shaped its emergence as a Hussite stronghold. Founded in 1420 by followers of Jan Hus, the town took its name from the biblical Mount Tabor. Its compact historic centre preserves irregular lanes, underground passages and the Kotnov Tower, a surviving part of the former castle fortifications. Below the old town, the Lužnice follows a wooded valley, while Jordán, a 15th-century reservoir, forms part of Tábor’s waterside setting. Hussite history remains central to the town’s museums, monuments and traditions. Browse nearby webcams to discover different corners of Tábor and South Bohemia.
