Putim

Putim is a charming village situated on the Blanice River, well known for its connection to the classic Czech novel 'The Good Soldier Švejk'. The village features a statue of this beloved literary hero, the historic church of St. Lawrence, and the picturesque Podkostelní Pond, all contributing to a peaceful and inviting atmosphere perfect for leisurely walks.

Putim is also home to the Zvířátkov animal farm, which houses both domestic and exotic animals, making it a favorite destination for families with children.

Each October, visitors can experience the traditional pond harvesting, complete with tastings of local carp specialties. This village offers an authentic insight into South Bohemian countryside life and culture, far from the crowds of major tourist centers.
