The town of Strakonice was founded on the confl uence of Volyňka and Otava and acquired the attribute – town of bagpipers. It is connected with Tyl’s play, Strakonice Bagpiper, as well as the production of fez hats and ČZ motorbikes. Although fezzes and bikes can now only be found in expositions at Strakonice Castle, the town has maintained its charm and customs, which you can see for yourselves on Apr. 24 - 25, the traditional opening of the tourist season.
