About South Bohemia
The way South Bohemia looks today is to a large scale determined by the Rožemberk noble family, which ruled the area between the 14th and 17th centuries. They built most of the fish ponds, castles, canals, towns and cities which are today the main tourist attractions. Another thing which shapes the region is the River Vltava; the Czech Republic's main watercourse springs here. There two big water dams on the Vltava in South Bohemia, which somehow changed the way nature looks here. The last important thing which shaped this region is the former presence of German population. Ethnic Germans lived in today's South Bohemia from the 12th century until they were expelled toAustriaandGermanyfollowingWorld War Two. Some of the homes they had to leave were resettled by people from central Czechia a
