Tyn nad Vltavou is one of
the oldest settlements in South Bohemia, situated on the banks of the
river Vltava, not far from the confluence of Vltava and Lužnice. The
town dates from the X. th century with the rise of site of a
settlement with merchant community.
In the XII. th century a castle was built on the hill above Tyn. It
was completely destroyed by numerous attacks of the enemies.
Today we can see on its place a roman stone bridge. In the XIII. th
Century on the ford a wooden bridge was built, the first in South of
Bohemia, and Tyn became an ideal location for the transfer of salt,
which was brought to the town on the "Golden way" from the Alp
countries. The surrounding area remained the centre of rafting till
half of XIX. th century.
Tyn nad Vltavou also has a vibrant cultural life. Municipal museum
with expositions of puppets and moldavites is located at the main
square, as well as Municipal Gallery Art Club. The gallery won its
prestige as one of the best in the Czech Republic thanks to exhibits
of top Czech artists. The locally organized South Bohemian Music
Festival regularly hosts top Czech and foreign performers. In the
summer the theater amateur group Vltavan performs on a revolving stage
under the open sky. This facility together with a theater in the Český
Krumlov castle park are unique in Central Europe.
Thanks to its location, Tyn is one of country´s favourite leisure
resorts for boating and tourism.Two dams, Orlická and Hněvkovická,
that have been built nearby provide a paradise of entertainment for
fishermen and all forms of inland water sports.
As you can see the picturesque city of Tyn nad Vltavou has much to
