The spa town Trebon is an important tourist, recreational, cultural and administrative centre in South Bohemia. The centre of the town is protected for its historical value.
The history of the town dates back to the middle of the 12th century, when the settlement or the courtyard was founded on a trade route in this marshy country. Its Czech name is first mentioned in 1262. At that time the village was under the ownership of the Vítkovec family. Since the 13th century Trebon has been known as a town. It was fortified in the 14th century and it became property of the Rožmberks. They owned the town from 1366 till 1611, the period of its biggest growth. The development of pond culture in the 15th and 16th centuries was a very important part of this boom. The large system of ponds and canals was founded around Trebon (e.g. Svet pond ("World") lying on the outskirts of the town and Rožmberk pond, which is the largest pond in Bohemia). The famous builders of ponds Štepánek Netolický and Jakub Krcín worked as regents here at that time.
Trebon burnt down several times and it was hard damaged during the Thirty Years' War. Around 1640 the plague epidemic killed nearly all the population. In 1660 Trebon became property of the Schwarzenbergs, who started the renewal of the town. The town got a Baroque face. At the end of the 19th century the spa was founded in Trebon and peat was used for healing there. After the Second World War the development of the town started again and the spa was enlarged (after 1950) and rebuilt into the sanatorium for healing of muscles and joints.
The main square in the historical centre is enclosed with citizen houses with the Renaissance and Baroque gables. The most important building is the town hall. The Marian column, which stands in the middle of the square, originates from 1781.
Many instructional and nature trails lead around the town. The circular trail Cesta kolem Sveta (Trip Around Svet) runs around the Svet pond. Svet pond (World) is one of the best known ponds in South Bohemia. It is situated on the southern outskirts of the town Trebon. It is the 10th largest pond in Bohemia (201.5 ha).
Musician: Czech folk song
Name of Song: V Třeboni pod hrází
Relevant Verse:
V Třeboni pod hrází
tam se mi líbilo,
muziky tam hrály
až do dne bílýho.
Až do dne bílýho,
až měsíček vyšel,
až pro mě pantáta
s karabáčem přišel.
Třeboňský pěšáci
lovili Dunaje,
chytili rybičku
u samého kraje.
To nebyla ryba,
to byla má milá,
pro falešnou lásku
do vody skočila.
Do vody, vodičky,
kde se kolem točí,
ach, škoda, přeškoda
jejích modrých očí.
