Sweet cabbage and sauerkraut belong to the traditional ingredients of South Bohemian cuisine. The village of Roudné in the area of České Budějovice and the surroundings of Balkova Lhota in the Tábor area became famous in South Bohemia for growing cabbage. Due to the soil composition of the area, this vegetable grows really well here. Great baked cabbage cakes or potato pancakes in the Kaplice style with sauerkraut and smoked meat must satisfy every gourmet’s tastes.
