Fritsch Trail along the Vltava River

The Fristch Trail begins near the Boršov Information Centre, at the Church of St. Jakub, where you will find the first red tourist sign. Approximately 1 kilometre from the beginning of the trail, you can turn to the oval medieval fortress of the lords of Boršov from the 13th century, and to the monument to the pilot of the US Air force Cpt. R. F. Reuter. Continuing on the red route, after about 9 kilometres you will walk directly under the ruins of the Dívčí Kámen Castle.

A tour of the ruins of the Gothic castle Dívčí kámen is definitely worth it. . It was built in the years 1350-1360, but in 1506 the Rosenberg estate left it and no longer maintained it. From Dívčí kamen you can continue a shorter route of the Fritsch Trail, walk about 2 kilometres to the train stop to Třísov, on the way to visit the Celtic oppidum. More able tourists can continue from the castle along the Fritsch Trail to Zlatá Koruna (approx. 8 km) and from there return by train to Český Krumlov.

Visit the Celtic oppidum, an important South Bohemian prehistoric monument in Třísov. It was built around 120 BC (inhabited area of ​​26 hectares). 200 m from the oppidum there is the legacy Třísov linden tree (Tilia cordata) and a chapel from 1777.  From train stop Třísov return by train to Český Krumlov.

Let´s visit a historical part of the village with Gothic buildings including the layman’s Church of St. Markéta and the remains of the fortifications, Zlatá Koruna Monastery – for the most part a medieval building (church, cloister, chapter hall, Chapel of the Guardian Angels, abbey), partly modified in the Baroque style, now managed by the National Heritage Institute.
