U Bechyne na kopecku - Bechyne, Czech Republic - Immortalized in Lyrics on Waymarking.com

The town of Bechyne is situated in the picturesque countryside over the river Lužnice. In the past it belonged to the oldest administrative centres and included a considerable part of South Bohemia with the residence of the archdeanconry as early as at the beginning of the Middle Ages. The Bechyne owner`s coat-of-arms reminds you of the old symbol of South Bohemia - cinquefoil rose, the crest of Petr Vok - the last Rosenberg regent.

The most valuable architectural sights are the castle complex and the late Gothic monastery with its magnificent diamond vault. For more than two hundred years the town has been renowned for spa treatment, the production of traditional South-Bohemian ceramics and the oldest Czech ceramic school in this country.

Another notable sights is "The Bechyne rainbow" (visit link) - the ferroconcrete bridge spanned over the deep valley of the river Lužnice. It is fifty metres high and was completed in 1928.

Musician: Czech folk song Name of Song: U Bechyně na kopečku Relevant Verse: U Bechyně na kopečku zelená se, je tam proutek rozmarýny, netrhá se. Já ho mám utrhnout, kdybych měl zahynout, na mou ze všech nejmilejších zapomenout. Kdyby se to naši páni dověděli, že je proutek rozmarýny utržený, napsali by psaní, mě na vojnu dali a co by se mí rodiče naplakali. Location website: [Web Link]
