From Rožmberk to Vyšší Brod

The trip begins in Rožmberk nad Vltavou, where we first visit the castle and the historical town center. Then we settle down in the restaurant of Hotel U Martina and order the baked chicken thigh with a honey glaze and mushroom noodles—this is a certified regional product. After a delicious lunch, we visit the information center located directly in the hotel and buy Rožmberk honey as a souvenir or gift. This is also a certified regional product—honey and honey products made by a local beekeeper.

Now the more demanding part of the trip begins—getting to Vyšší Brod. There are two options: following the valley along the Vltava River on the main road, or taking the small road through Hrudkov, which leads across meadows and fields with minimal traffic and scenic views. For a cycling or walking trip, the Hrudkov route is the better choice. It is marked first in red, then in green.

Once in Vyšší Brod, we head to the town square. Here, we can choose between two establishments—or visit both. One is the Eva pastry shop, offering good coffee and desserts, the other is the Pajzl u Jakuba pub, where you can taste Jakub beer from the Vyšší Brod microbrewery. Both places offer certified regional products.

The final part of the trip, after a nice refreshment, can be a tour of the Vyšší Brod Monastery. Afterwards, we return to Rožmberk by train.
