The town Vodnany is situated about 7 km south-west of the town Protivín near the Blanice river in the countryside full of ponds in the Ceskobudejovická Pánev (Ceské Budejovice Basin), 398 m a.s.l.
The town was probably founded by King Premysl Ottakar II in the second half of the 13th century in the place of a former settlement of fishermen, which was called Vodná. It obtained a lot of burghal rights and privileges in 1336. During the Hussite Wars the town was important support of the Hussites. In the 15th century many ponds were founded in the surroundings and the fishery developed here. The gold washing on the Blanice river started the boom of Vodnany at the same time. During the Thirty Years' War the town was ravaged and the growth stopped. The joyless economic situation became even worse after big fire of the town in 1722. The new flowering began in the 19th century. The special school of fishery has been here since 1920.

Relevant Verse:
Kdyby byl Bavorov,
co sou Vodňany,
dal bych ti hubičku
na obě strany.
Ale že je za vodou,
za vodičkou studenou.
Nedám ti má milá ani jedinou.
Ale, že je za vodou za vodičkou studenou,
nedám ti má milá ani jedinou.
