The small town Chlum is an important resort in the Protected Landscape
Area Třeboňsko on the bank of Hejtman pond (Hetman). It is situated about
12 km south-east of the town Třeboň near the Czech-Austrian border, 492
m a.s.l. The first mention of the village, as a property of the Rožmberks,
is from 1399, but the village probably originates from the 13th century.
The iron mines were founded in the surroundings and one of the biggest
ironworks in South Bohemia was built in the town. The rails for the horse-drawn
railway between the towns České Budějovice and Linz (Austria) were made
there too. Chlum is one of several South Bohemian towns with developed
glass-blowing - this tradition began in the 20th century.
