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.

A bust of F. L. Čelakovský, a national revivalist, writer and collector of folk literature, scientist and native of Strakonice is placed on the Zellerin slope above the Otava river. The site is connected with his first literature trials. A carver Vojtěch Šíp made his bust and it was ceremoniously revealed 15^thJune 1924 at the occasion of 125^thbirth anniversary of F. L. Čelakovský (7. 3. 1799–5. 8. 1852). There used to be a ferry on the other side Podskalí under this monument.
