history
Tusset was founded in 1769 as a logging settlement in the Bohemian Forest. Before that, sawmills such as Bienert's saw had been in operation in the Cold Vltava valley since the 16th century. In 1945/46 most of the Sudeten German residents were expelled as a result of the Beneš decrees .
Infrastructure
In 1910, with the commissioning of the Prachatice – Tusset railway and on to Passau, it was connected to the railway network . After the Second World War , rail operations on the German side were discontinued. Today the railway line ends directly at the border at Nové Údolí / Haidmühle . In addition to local trains, a continuous pair of express trains runs between Nove Udoli via Budweis to Prague in the summer months. These trains take about 5½ hours to travel between the capital and the Bohemian Forest.
