The Bezdrevský potok is a stream in the Czech Republic, a left tributary of the Vltava River. It flows through the South Bohemian Region. It is 43.1 km (26.8 mi) long.
Etymology
[edit | edit source]The name means 'Bezdrev stream', referring to the Bezdrev fishpond. The name of the pond has its origin in the Czech words bez dřeva, meaning 'without woods'. It referred to a treeless plain on which the pond was established.[1]

It is 43.1 km (26.8 mi) long. Its drainage basin has an area of 279.2 km2 (107.8 sq mi).[2]

Bodies of water
[edit | edit source].jpg){kind=link}
There are 456 bodies of water in the basin area. The basin area is rich in fishponds, especially the area of the lower course of the stream in the České Budějovice Basin. The largest of the fishponds and the third largest pond in the Czech Republic overall is Bezdrev with an area of 365 ha (900 acres), built directly on the Bezdrevský potok. Bezdrev was founded by Vilém II of Pernštejn before 1490. The Bezdrevský potok also supplies several other ponds.[2][4]
Bridges
[edit | edit source]In Netolice, near the dam of the Mnich pond, where the Bezdrevský potok leaves the pond, there are a pair of stone arched bridges, protected as a cultural monument. The older of the bridges probably dates from around 1746, which is the date of the statue that decorates it. The younger bridge was most likely built in the 19th century.[5]
The dam of the Bezdrev pond and a bridge over the Bezdrevský potok next to the dam are together protected as a cultural monument. The stone three-arch bridge dates from 1879.[4]
