Eggenberg donated the Římov estate to the Krumlov Jesuit College . The Jesuits made Římov a pilgrimage center and in 1648 built a Way of the Cross with 25 stations.

Way of the Cross

The baroque Way of the Cross is north of the village. It consists of 25 stations on a circular route of around 4 km in length. He recreates the Passion of Christ in Jerusalem. The sacred small buildings fit into the landscape around Římov. Every Palm Sunday afternoon, believers and pilgrims gather in front of the church to walk the traditional Way of the Cross together. Some of the otherwise closed chapels are unlocked and crossed by the procession participants, so that this is the only day of the year on which the interior of these chapels can also be seen. On the other days of the year, too, the Way of the Cross invites you to take a nice walk through partly open, partly wooded terrain.

Maltsch reservoir

The dam Římov was built in the years 1971-1978 and dams the river Malše (Maltsch) to a storage lake. This is mainly used as a drinking water reservoir for the water supply to South Bohemia, especially from České Budějovice (Budweis). The minimum continuous flow in the run under the dam is 650 l / s. The reservoir is 13 km long and the flood area is 210 ha. In the event of flooding, however, priority must be given to draining the water gently through the drainage device so that the dam body is not damaged. Therefore, the Římov water reservoir cannot do much to limit the flooding on the Malše.
