Statue of Dorotka

The statue of Dorotka Trnkova, bride of Švanda, is located in the Strakonické Podskalí rock bed. Dorotka is a symbol of faithful and true love. The statue was unveiled in the summer of 2012 as part of the Year of the Pipers event. The author of the sitting girl with a small wreath carved from Hořice sandstone is academic sculptor Karel Kryška. Beneath Dorotka there is a bench, on which, it is said, kissing brings a happy and satisfied love life.
