The Vltava River Bend is one of the most distinctive natural features of Český Krumlov, Czechia. The
river flows in wide curves around the Old Town, shaping the town’s layout and creating
postcard-worthy scenery.
From elevated viewpoints and riverside paths, visitors can see the red rooftops reflected in the
water, with the castle rising above the bends of the river. The scene changes beautifully with light
and seasons.
For travelers, the Vltava River Bend offers calm walking routes, photography opportunities, and a
unique perspective of the town’s historic setting.
