Strakonice

Strakonice lies at the confluence of the Otava and Volyňka rivers, where South Bohemia’s low, wooded countryside meets a historic river crossing. The town is defined by Strakonice Castle, a complex developed from the 13th century and long associated with the Knights Hospitaller; its tower and riverside setting remain central to the townscape. The castle also houses the Museum of Central Pootaví, with collections devoted to the region. Strakonice has a strong connection to Czech bagpipe music, celebrated during its International Bagpipe Festival. The Otava continues to shape the town’s routes and atmosphere.
