About
Lipno Lake is an artificial reservoir in South Bohemia, in the Czech Republic. It covers 4,870 hectares, which makes it a large stretch of water set among forested hills, and it is a well-known place for water sports and family outings.
What to do on the water
The lake suits a range of activities on and beside the water:
- Sailing, with conditions that draw sailors to the open water
- Swimming, in waters described as crystal clear
- Fishing, for those who prefer a quieter pastime by the shore
Around the lake
The shores are forested, and the area around the lake offers cycling trails for visitors who want to explore on land. The Lipno Treetop Walkway is among the features that set the area apart, giving a different view of the surrounding woods from above the trees.
Lipno works well for families, with swimming and gentle water activities alongside the walks and rides on land, and it also appeals to visitors who want more adventure. The combination of open water and forest makes it a natural choice for a day or a longer stay in South Bohemia.
