About this place
A picturesque landscape full of forests, ponds, and granite rocks in the heart of South Bohemia, inviting cycling and hiking trips.
Czech Canada is the nickname for a hilly and forested area on the border of Bohemia and Moravia, officially protected as a natural park. It stretches between the towns of Jindřichův Hradec, Kunžak, Slavonice, and Nová Bystřice, and its rugged, remote beauty resembles the Canadian wilderness.
The area is crisscrossed by a network of hiking trails and bike paths that lead around extensive pond systems, granite rock formations, and deep forests. The biggest attractions include the ruins of Landštejn Castle, the U Jakuba lookout tower, or the historic town of Slavonice with its Renaissance houses. History enthusiasts will also appreciate the narrow-gauge railway from Jindřichův Hradec to Nová Bystřice.
Czech Canada is an ideal destination for an active holiday in nature. In summer, it offers swimming in clean ponds such as Kačerák or Osika, and in winter, cross-country skiing trails. We recommend visiting Maříž with its pottery workshop and the surrounding rocks, which are popular among climbers.
