River description:

Malše river is, on its upper flow, navigable at snow thaw or after heavy rains.  Water-register for descent  in Kaplice is orientative, with min. 35 cm. The lower section is navigable, provided the water is  let out from Římov-Dam (at least 4-5 cbm), to this corresponds the register 30 on water-register in Římov. However, from Pořešín to  pier, the navigation is not allowed, it is protected  belt of water sources. The navigation along upper flow is quite quick.

Anyway, we recommend you to check the weirs before eventual descent.

The river sources on an Austrian part of Novohradské Mountains in an altitude of 900, under name Maltsch. It flows to our territory near Dolní Dvořiště, it helds its north direction up to České Budějovice, where mouths into Vltava river from right side. Malše takes the water area of 979 km². It flows from Novohradské Mountains through so called Kaplice furrow to Budějovice basin. The valley is first open, the river makes a lot of bends and is overgrown with woods. Anyway, near to Rychnov the valley becomes  to be nearer and the river takes bigger slope. The river-basin is wide 8-10 m, it is stony with many unpreserved weirs.

This afforested, rather difficult section, terminates at water basin Římov. Under a dam, the river flows through open valley of Budějovice basin.
