Vetrní je malá obec necelých pet kilometru jižne od Ceského Krumlova.
Prvni pisemne zminky o obci Vetrni (nemecky Wetern) pochazi z roku 1347. Puvodni osada byla tehdy majetkem Rozmberku, kteri ji v uvedenem roce prodali Visnovi z Vetrni. Ve vlastnictvi tohoto rodu bylo Vetrni az do roku 1603, kdy je koupilo mesto Cesky Krumlov a pripojilo ke svym statkum.
Ve Vetrni drive stavala tvrz, ktera byla koncem 17. stoleti prestavena a vyuzivana jako skola. Dnes jiz neni pouzivana.

Mezi nejvetsi pamatky patri kostel svateho Jana Nepomuckeho stojici v horni casti mesta smerem na Frymburk, ktery pochazi z konce 30.let dvacateho stoleti a fara pobliz kostela.
Novodoba historie obce Vetrni je svazana s vyrobou papiru.
Ignac Spiro, podnikatel v papirnictvi a provozovatel papirny v Ceskem Krumlove, byl diky rozrustajici se vyrobe nucen v roce 1870 koupit Peckovsky mlyn pobliz Vetrni. Prvotne byl Peckovsky mlyn planovan jako celulozka pro krumlovskou papirnu, ale jiz o devet let pozdeji zde byly tri papirenske stroje.
Mimochodem, mistni casto o Vetrni hovori jako o Peckach ci Pejcmilu, z nemeckeho Potschmuhle..
Tovarna se stala nositelem technickeho pokroku v papirenstvi v celem Rakousku-Uhersku a pozdeji i nezavisle republice. V roce 1883 byl zahajen provoz sulfitove celulozky. V roce 1911 pak byl postaven nejvetsi stroj na svete na vyrobu papiru pro rotacni tisk. V roce 1926 Spirova rodina jako prvni v republice uvedla do provozu vyrobu sulfatove buniciny. K zajimavym technickym dilum patri i Spirova vodni elektrarna ve Vyssim Brode z roku 1903, ktera s napetim 15.000 V zasobovala nejen papirnu, ale i prilehle casti jiznich Cech.
Po unoru 1948 byla papirna znarodnena a stala se soucasti statniho podniku

Vetrni is a small village less than five kilometers south of Ceský Krumlov.
The village of Vetrni (Wetern in German) was first mentioned in documents from 1253. The original settlement was the property of the House of Rosenberg who sold it to the yeoman Visen of Wetern in the above year. It remained the property of the House of Visen until 1603 when it was bought by the town of Cesky Krumlov and connected to its estates.
There used to be a stronghold which was reconstructed at the end of 17th century and used as school. Nowadays it is no longer used.
The church of Saint Jan of Nepomuk is the biggest attraction in Vetrni, situated in the upper part of the village in the direction of Frymburk. It dates back to the 1930s. Another one attraction is presbytery standing near the church.
Modern history of Vetrni is connected with paper production.
Ignac Spiro, the owner of paper mill in Cesky Krumlov, was forced to buy Peckovsky mill near 1870 due to increasing paper production. The mill was originally planned as to by used as pulp mill for Cesky Krumlov factory but only nine years later there were three paper machines installed there.
The plant became the cutting edge of paper production technology in the whole of Austria-Hungary Empire and later in independent Czechoslovakia.
Out the slopes of Vetrni hill (789 meters above see level) spanning over the village there is a
education trail named Vetrnik.
