Companionship Services in Strakonice
Bagpipes might seem an unlikely symbol for a South Bohemian town, but Strakonice has been synonymous with them for centuries. The Mezinárodní dudácký festival, held every two years, is the largest gathering of bagpipe players in Europe and attracts folk musicians from Scotland, Spain, Italy, and dozens of other countries. Bohemian bagpipe traditions in this area are documented as far back as the 16th century.
Strakonice Castle dominates the confluence of the Otava and Volyňka rivers. Originally a 13th-century fortress of the Knights of Malta, it served as one of their most important Central European commanderies. Parts of the castle now house the Muzeum středního Pootaví. Below the castle walls, the Podskalí water mill stands as one of the last preserved riverside mills in South Bohemia.
For much of the 20th century, the town was known for Česká zbrojovka (ČZ) motorcycle production, which ran from 1932 until the early 1990s and yielded numerous motocross championships. Reviewed companion profiles for South Bohemia are listed on escortservice.com, which operates as a directory only and does not arrange services.
About 23,500 people live in Strakonice. The Otava River flows from the Šumava mountains through the town on its way to join the Vltava, and hiking trails follow the valley in both directions. Users must confirm they are at least 18 years old to access the directory.
