The small town Chlum is an important resort in the Protected Landscape Area Trebonsko.
The first mention of the village, as a property of the Rožmberks, is from 1399, but the village probably originates from the 13th century. The iron mines were founded in the surroundings and one of the biggest ironworks in South Bohemia was built in the town. The rails for the horse-drawn railway between the towns Ceské Budejovice and Linz (Austria) were made there too. Chlum is one of several South Bohemian towns with developed glass-blowing - this tradition began in the 20th century.
