Discover Domanín U Třeboně

Domanín U Třeboně combines a landscape shaped by ponds with remarkable ecclesiastical and aristocratic history. Located on the western edge of the Třeboňsko Protected Landscape Area, the village is part of the Rožmberk pond system. This gives you a range of options for a stay combining nature observation, activities and culture.

Trails, Ponds and Nature

The Cesta kolem Světa educational trail is a 12-kilometre closed loop around Svět Pond and is intended for hikers. It runs through the cadastral area of Domanín u Třeboně and has 16 information panels. The panels cover ecology, typical plant and animal species, the history of fishpond management and the spa industry, as well as the development of folk architecture. The trail thus combines movement through the pond landscape with specific topics to read about and discover.

For cycling, the 39-kilometre Okolo Třeboně loop route is available, with 22 bilingual information stations. In Domanín, the cycle educational trail runs along the embankment of Opatovický Pond. The difference between the 12-kilometre walking trail and the 39-kilometre cycling route helps you plan your preferred day. A natural outdoor swimming pool is used at Nový Pond; sport fishing is also possible there.

Religious Buildings and the Schwarzenberg Tomb

The cemetery church of St. Giles in Domanín is a single-nave church from the 16th century with a projecting tower front. It served the Schwarzenberg family as a burial place from 1784 to 1876. Inside the church is a fresco from 1588 by Tobiáš Fels of Jihlava.

The Chapel of St. Wenceslas was built in 1924–1925 and consecrated on 28 September 1925. Its interior was decorated with wall paintings by Karel Svolinský in 1926. The chapel is considered a valuable example of modern ecclesiastical architecture from the interwar period and complements the older architectural history of St. Giles with a distinctly more recent chapter.

The Schwarzenberg Tomb is located at the entrance to Domanín from the direction of Třeboň, on the southeast side of Svět Pond, and is surrounded by an English landscape park. The two-storey Neo-Gothic building has the shape of a regular octagon and contains 26 coffins. The Schwarzenberg Tomb is open year-round.

History and Travel Planning

The first written mention of Domanín as villa Domanyn dates from 1367. In 1376, part of the municipality passed to the Augustinian monastery in Třeboň. Today, the Svatováclavské slavnosti s poutí is a living tradition and the largest regular cultural event of the municipality of Domanín.

When looking for a hotel, you can therefore first decide whether you want to focus your stay more on trails and ponds, religious architecture, or history and events. For your further travel planning, you can also consider Červený Hrádek, Hříšice, Cizkrajov, Dobrohošť U Dačic, Starý Bozdechov, Clunek, Blato and Horní Němčice as well.
