Fishermen’s Vodňany

In the museum of the Střední rybářská škola Vodňany (Secondary Fishermen’s School Vodňany), you will learn about the history of fi sh farming, see historic fi shermen’s tools and peruse exhibits of dozens of fi sh, including their skeletons. This wetland habitat contains not only fi sh and water fowl, but also mammals. Only a few steps away, there is an area for lovers of angling which displays rods, spinners and the containers used to transport the fi sh from the fish harvest to the live fish storage tank used in the past. In the museum, do not miss the aquariums of live fish. Twenty aquarium tanks house about a hundred fi sh both native to our region and from abroad (from the Amazon, for example). It is interesting that the staff is able to breed and raise fresh-water stingrays. Outside, children will enjoy learning through the interactive and educational Eel’s Trail. You can also set out on another educational trail around Vodňany called “Water is Science”. This trail provides details about 5 research areas which are studied by scientists at the Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Waters at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice.
