The forester hired by the castle owner patrols the nearby Obora forest is quite mean; however, a handsome flock of goats and sheep patrol the steep slopes leading up to the castle. It’s a shame that the forest is now closed to the public - it used to be enjoyed by many locals recreationally before the new greedy owners took over.

Closed until next season.

Super

Truly a classic piece of history in a very beautiful place. A must see.

The town is beautiful with a nice walk around it and by the river.

Ideal place for families with kids

(Translated by Google) Today's roughly rectangular garden lies north of the church and the monastery building. The western and northern parts adjoin the city, the eastern side of the garden ends with a deep rocky slope. The entire space is surrounded by a stone wall. The original stairs are probably preserved on the property, fragments of earlier buildings and flower beds are visible. From 1791, a school was also allegedly located in the monastery yard. There was also a pond for breeding poultry and an old bakery above the cellar, where vegetables were stored. The local well with a depth of 12.5 meters was carved into the rock. The garden mainly had a utilitarian function - part of the monastery garden (hortus conclusus) was usually a medical garden (hortus medicus), but the monks also cultivated useful plants (vegetables, fruit) and sometimes ornamental ones. The monastic education allowed the monks to grow a variety of plants, but also to keep documents and books about the healing effects of plants in their libraries. The monasteries therefore often provided medical care to the people in the vicinity. The authors of writings on medicinal plants were often monks themselves.

(Original) Dnešní zahrada zhruba obdélníkového tvaru leží severně od kostela a budovy kláštera. Západní a severní částí přiléhá k městu, východní strana zahrady končí hlubokým skalnatým srázem. Celý prostor je obehnán kamennou zdí. Na pozemku jsou snad zachovány původní schody, patrné jsou fragmenty dřívějších staveb a záhonů. Od roku 1791 stávala údajně na klášterním dvoře také škola. Nacházel se tady i rybníček pro chov drůbeže a stará pekárna nad sklepem, kam se ukládala zelenina. Zdejší studna o hloubce 12,5 metrů byla vytesaná do skály. Zahrada měla hlavně užitkovou funkci - součástí klášterní zahrady (hortus conclusus) byla obvykle zahrada lékařská (hortus medicus), mniši ale pěstovali i rostliny užitkové (zeleninu, ovoce) a někdy i okrasné. Klášterní vzdělanost umožňovala mnichům pěstovat celou řadu rostlin, ale i uchovávat v knihovnách listiny a knihy o léčivých účincích rostlin. Kláštery tedy mnohdy zajišťovaly lékařskou péči lidem v okolí. Autory spisů o léčivých rostlinách byli často samotní řeholníci.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful view of the Duha Bridge in the picturesque town of Bechyně and the Lužnicí River, especially on sunny autumn days (Original) Nádherný výhled na most Duha v malebném městečku Bechyně a na řeku Lužnicí obzvlášť v podzimních slunečných dnech

(Translated by Google) The monastery garden with the remains of the fortifications is a quiet part of the city, made for relaxation, with a view of the Bechyňská duha and the Lužnica river. (Original) Klášterní zahrada se zbytky opevnění je klidná část města jako stvořená pro odpočinek s výhledem na Bechyňskou duhu a řeku Lužnici.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, wonderful place, but it could use some investment. (Original) Krásné, nádherné místo, ale chtělo by to trochu investice.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place with an amazing view. (Original) Krásné místo s úžasným výhledem.

(Translated by Google) From the garden there is a beautiful view of the Duha bridge and Lužnica (Original) Ze zahrady je krásný výhled na most Duha a na Lužnici

(Translated by Google) The garden is very nice, although it deserves better maintenance and care. The views from here are wonderful, you can see Lužnice and the Rainbow Bridge. I would appreciate more benches to sit on. (Original) Zahrada moc pěkná,ikdyž by zasloužila lepší údržbu a péči. Výhledy odsud jsou nádherné,vidíte Lužnici a most Duha. Ocenila bych více laviček k posezení.

Super!!!

Super vyhlidka

(Translated by Google) We were in beautiful weather, the view is very nice and the price of CZK 30 is appropriate. The pleasant gentleman at the tickets, a small piece of joy for Jára Cimrman's fans. (Original) Byli jsme v krásném počasí, výhled moc hezký a cena 30 Kč odpovídá. Příjemný pán u lístků, maličký střípek radosti pro fanoušky Járy Cimrmana.

(Translated by Google) Lots of stairs but the view is worth it. Entrance fee at the top 30 CZK. It is necessary to check the opening hours. (Original) Spousta schodů, ale vyhlídka stojí za to. Vstupné nahoře 30 Kč. Nutné si ověřit otevírací dobu.

(Translated by Google) It is definitely worth climbing the tower and seeing not only the room where the bell ringer lived with his family and the goat (how he probably got the goat to graze), but above all to admire the wonderful views of the landscape. Of course, the landmark of the city, the arched rainbow bridge, can also be seen from here. (Original) Určitě stojí za to vystoupat na věž a prohlédnout si nejen místnost, kde bydlel zvoník s rodinou a kozou (jak asi tu kozu dostával na pastvu), ale hlavně se pokochat nádhernými výhledy do krajiny. Pochopitelně je odtud vidět i dominantu města, klenutý most duha.

(Translated by Google) The original building was built at the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century, but after several reconstructions, it noticeably changed its appearance. Today, it contains the most stylistic elements from the Baroque period. The perimeter masonry of the nave and presbytery dates from the beginning of the 16th century, and in the years 1613-15 the master builder Jan Schutz from České Budějovice was vaulted with a double nave. In 1740, the richly decorated gable of the presbytery with a niche and a statue of St. Matěje, which faces the square. The historically interesting interior of the church comes mainly from the 16th to 18th centuries. If you are among the fans of sacral architecture, the deanery building south of the church is definitely worth a visit. The core of the building is apparently Gothic, the oldest vaults are Renaissance. In a fire in 1711, part of the old records and registers burned down, and in the same year the dean's office was rebuilt in Baroque style. Around the middle of the 20th century, another classicist reconstruction took place, which gave the building its present appearance (façade). An interesting terracotta sculpture of St. Jan Nepomucký was moved around 1938, including the plinth, to the square, east of the church presbytery. The chronogram on the plinth determines its creation in 1737. The ceramic statue is apparently not original and was placed on the plinth additionally, probably around 1780. It was probably created in Bechyn in connection with the local pottery tradition. The original church was built between the late 13th and early 14th centuries.

(Original) Původní stavba vznikala koncem 13. a počátkem 14. století, po několika přestavbách však znatelně měnila svojí podobu. Dnes obsahuje nejvíce slohových prvků z období baroka. Z počátku 16. století pochází obvodové zdivo lodě a presbytáře a v letech 1613-15 bylo stavebním mistrem Janem Schutzem z Českých Budějovic zaklenuto dvojlodí. V roce 1740 proběhla výstavba bohatě zdobeného štítu presbytáře s výklenkem a se sochou sv. Matěje, který je orientován do náměstí. Historicky zajímavé vnitřní zařízení kostela pochází převážně ze 16. až 18. století. Pokud patříte mezi fanoušky sakrální architektury, za prohlídku rozhodně stojí i budova děkanství jižně u kostela. Jádro objektu je zřejmě gotické, nejstarší klenby jsou renesanční. Při požáru v roce 1711 shořela část starých zápisů a matrik a ještě téhož roku bylo děkanství barokně přestavěno. Kolem poloviny 20. století proběhla další klasicistní přestavba, která dala objektu dnešní vzhled (průčelí). Zajímavá terakotová plastika sv. Jana Nepomuckého byla kolem roku 1938 přestěhována i se soklem na náměstí, východně od kostelního presbytáře. Chronogram na soklu určuje jeho vznik v roce 1737. Keramická socha není zřejmě původní a byla na sokl umístěna dodatečně, pravděpodobně až kolem roku 1780. Zřejmě vznikla v Bechyni v souvislosti s místní hrnčířskou tradicí.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church, possibility to climb the tower with a view of the surroundings. We were not inside due to lack of time, but we plan to return and explore everything. I definitely recommend visiting. (Original) Krásný kostel, možnost vystoupat na věž s výhledem na okolí. Uvnitř jsme z nedostatku času nebyli, ale plánujeme návrat a vše prozkoumáme. Doporučuji určitě navštívit.

(Translated by Google) A nice museum with beautiful exhibits and a nice explanation from one of the local firefighters 🙂 I highly recommend it with children. (Original) Hezké muzeum s krásnými exponáty a i hezkým výkladem od jednoho z místních hasičů 🙂 Vřele doporučuji s dětmi.

(Translated by Google) There is nothing wrong with this fire museum. Super renewed technique (guys - not only) had a damn good time. And the explanation from the Firefighter's grandmother, well, great. Definitely worth a visit. (Original) Toto hasičské muzeum nemá chybu. Super obnovená technika( chlapy-nejen) si zatraceně mákly. A výklad od Hasičské babičky no paráda. Stojí určitě za návštěvu.

(Translated by Google) A very nicely done museum, bigger than we expected. Enriched with a private collection of fire trucks -- models. Pleasant cashier and guide. (Original) Velice pěkně udělané muzeum, větší než jsme čekali . Obohacené soukromou sbírkou hasičských vozů -- modelů. Příjemná pokladní i průvodce.

(Translated by Google) Nice little museum. The entrance fee was essentially symbolic. I paid about 200 CZK for two adults and a child. Anyone who likes firefighting themes will find many nice things here. Even children will enjoy it even if there is nothing for them to touch. Unfortunately, photography is prohibited here, so I won't share any pictures. You wouldn't even know it was a museum from the outside. It looks like an old warehouse but don't be put off. It would be a shame. (Original) Pěkné menší muzeum. Vstupné bylo v podstatě symbolické. Za dva dospělé a dítě jsem platil cca 200kč. Každý kdo má rád hasičskou tématiku si zde najde mnoho pěkných věcí. Dokonce i děti si to užijí i když zde není nic na co by si mohli sáhnout. Bohužel je zde zakázáno focení takže se nepodelim o žádné obrázky. Z venku ani moc nepoznáte že se jedná o muzeum. Vypadá to jako starý sklad ale nenechte se odradit. Byla by to škoda.

(Translated by Google) A modest but very nice museum. You can see the love and dedication to the firefighting profession. I am proud of the work done for the creation of this museum. I recommend to visit. Everything was built by volunteer firefighters. (Original) Skromné, ale moc hezké muzeum. Je tam vidět láska a oddanost hasičské profesi. Smekám před odvedenou prací pro vznik tohoto muzea. Doporučuji navštívit. Vše vybudovali dobrovolní hasiči.

(Translated by Google) Perfectly prepared museum, detailed professional interpretation of unique exhibits. Except that it is not located according to the maps, but by the station. It moved several times (Original) Perfektně připravené muzeum podrobný profesionální výklad unikátní exponáty. Akorát že není umístěné podle map ale u nádraží. Několikrát se stěhovalo

(Translated by Google) A very great introduction to the history of the Bechyn Firefighters. The gentleman who accompanied us was very friendly. We can definitely recommend it. (Original) Velmi super poznání historie Hasičů v Bechyni. Pan co nás provázel byl velmi přátelský. Můžeme jednoznačně doporučit.

(Translated by Google) New gallery. A little "poorer" content of exhibits. Otherwise, Bechyně is attractive to tourists not only as a spa, but also as a city as such. (Original) Nová galerie. Trochu "chudší" obsah exponátů. Jinak Bechyně turistický atraktivní nejen jako lázně, ale i město jako takové.

(Translated by Google) The surprise was that seniors and disabled people have free entry. The exhibition spaces are small and some of the exhibited exhibits are imaginative and beautiful. (Original) Překvapením bylo,že senioři a invalidé mají vstup zdarma. Prostory výstavy jsou malé a některé vystavené exponáty jsou nápadité a pěkně.

(Translated by Google) We go regularly to every exhibition. I recommend 👍 (Original) Chodíme pravidelně na každou výstavu. Doporučuji 👍

(Translated by Google) Museum in the near future, because Bechyně generally "got" me. I will be back. (Original) Muzeum v brzkém příště, protože Bechyně celkově mně "dostala". Budu se vracet.

(Translated by Google) We expected something different and something more... (Original) Čekali jsme něco jiného a něco více...

Muzeum ok

(Translated by Google) A small museum in the premises of the former Jewish synagogue. On the ground floor, documents, badges, talks about the founder of the KČT, on the upper floor about Judaism in Bechyn. Below, a projection about Bechyna, the bridge and others. (Original) Malé muzeum v prostorách bývalé žid.synagogy. V přízemí listiny,odznaky, povídání o zakladateli KČT, v patře o židovství v Bechyni. Dole promítání o Bechyni,mostu a dalším.

(Translated by Google) Interesting museum. The only one of its kind in the Czech Republic. It is located in the old synagogue building. It maps the history of KČT. (Original) Zajímavé muzeum. Svého druhu jediné v ČR. Je umístěno v budově staré synagogy. Mapuje historii KČT.

(Translated by Google) The museum is located in the former synagogue and in the adjacent house. During the previous regime, there was a firefighter's museum. Open from Tuesday to Sunday in the summer season. In autumn, winter and spring season only on weekends. Always from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Otherwise, by appointment on the contact phone. A very interesting museum maps the history and present of Czech tourism. It will tell you a lot about touristic landmarks and historical monuments. An interactive game about Czech history is part of the museum. On the exhibition course about Jewish synagogues in Bohemia. MICHAEL STEIN (Original) Muzeum se nachází v bývalé synagoze a v přilehlém vedlejším domě. Za minulého režimu zde bylo hasičské muzeum. V letní sezónu otevřeno od úterý do neděle. V podzimní, zimní a jarní sezónu pouze o víkendech. Vždy od 9 do 17 hodin. Jinak po domluvě na kontaktním telefonu. Velmi zajímavé muzeum mapuje historii i současnost české turistiky.

(Translated by Google) Ok, we're on a road trip, so in brief. Two reasons to visit the tourism museum here: For me, as a "digital nomad" who wanders the republic and Europe equipped with a GPS, interactive map, applications for transportation and accommodation, it was instructive and cute to see the roots of tourism in Bohemia. Perceiving the pure (and often naïve) enthusiasm of our predecessors and then finding out that even though the world has changed beyond recognition since those times, the desire for something beautiful, romantic and trying to escape at least for a while from the boredom and gray everyday reality of working days, she hasn't really changed at all. The second reason is also worth it. The collections are located in an interestingly designed building of the former synagogue - this makes this museum a unique object of its kind in Bohemia. The historic new building of the synagogue near the city walls was built in 1872 on the site of an older building. In the Upper Women's Gallery, you can learn about the history of Jewish communities in Bechyňsk. The building is part of the Jewish street (today's Široká street) mentioned around 1717. In the second half of the 20th century it served as a fire brigade museum, today the synagogue is owned by the Jewish community, which rents it to the Czech Tourist Club.

(Original) Ok, jsme na výletě, takže stručně. Dva důvody, proč navštívit zdejší muzeum turistiky: Pro mě, jakožto "digitálního nomáda", který se toulá republikou a Evropou vybaven GPSkou, interaktivní mapou, aplikacemi pro dopravu a ubytování, bylo poučné i roztomilé vidět kořeny turistiky v Čechách. Vnímat to čisté (a mnohdy až naivistické) nadšení našich předchůdců a pak zjistit, že i když se od těch dob svět změnil k nepoznání, ta touha po něčem krásném, romantickém a snaha alespoň na chvíli uniknout před nudou a šedí běžné reality pracovních dní, se vlastně nezměnila vůbec. Druhý důvod taky stojí za to. Sbírky jsou umístěny v zajímavě řešené budově bývalé synagogy - tím je toto muzeum ojedinělým objektem svého druhu v Čechách. Historizující novostavba synagogy u městských hradeb vznikla v roce 1872 na místě staršího objektu. Na horní ženské galerii se můžete seznámit s historii židovských obcí na Bechyňsku. Objekt tvoří součást židovské uličky (dnešní Široká ulice) zmiňované kolem roku 1717. Ve druhé polovině 20. století sloužila jako hasičské muzeum, dnes je synagoga v majetku Židovské obce, která ji pronajímá právě Klubu českých turistů. Ok, we're on a trip, so briefly.
