Imagine you're in South Bohemia, surrounded by green forests, picturesque villages, and the largest pond in the Czech Republic – Rožmberk Pond, also affectionately known as Rosenberg. But what actually happens when the pond is "fished out"? This is no ordinary fishing activity, but a true spectacle!

The Rožmberk Pond fish-out is, so to speak, the "Great Fish Event" of the year. Fishermen, nature lovers, and even curious tourists gather here to witness a centuries-old ritual. And yes, it's so exciting that even the fish are probably curious to see what happens next!

The process is simple: Using large nets, boats, and sometimes even traditional Czech fishing hooks, the pond is "cleaned." It's not just about the catch – it's also an opportunity to maintain the pond and ensure water quality. And of course, the fish-out also ensures a fresh portion of fish on the region's plates!

The fish caught here are mainly carp, which has a real tradition in the Czech Republic. It is said that the carp in Rožmberk Pond are so large and juicy that they are almost legendary. Some even claim that the fish happily say "Hello!" as they jump into the nets during the harvest!

And the best part: Harvesting is not just a job for the fishermen, but also a celebration for the entire region. There's music, delicious food (with lots of fish, of course!), and children can watch the fish "dive" into the water. It's a true experience that shows how closely connected the people here are with nature.

In short, harvesting Rožmberk Pond is a fascinating spectacle full of tradition, fun, and, of course, delicious fish. So, next time you're in South Bohemia, don't miss this major fishing event – it's a real highlight!

Rozmberk Sluice

Highlight • Structure

This is the larger of the two locks that are on the Rozmberk. It was intended to prevent flooding of the water level above a certain level, overflowing the dam and damaging it from the outside. Wooden fish barriers have also been installed to prevent fish from escaping during high tide. Madness what everything was built here for the flood protection.
Incidentally, the Rozmberk pond is the largest artificial man-made pond in Central Europe! Approximately every 2 years, the pond is emptied to harvest the carp in it. Around 160 (!) Tons of fish are produced in this way.
