Try Ice Fishing Right at the Apartment

Winter Lake Lipno has its own magic. Some come for the skis, some for cross-country skiing, some for wellness… And then there are the fishermen. Those who, even in winter, feel that they “might catch something.”

Precisely for them, we have something they won’t find anywhere else in the Lake Lipno region: a pond with trout and char literally right behind the apartments’ fence.

Everyone will enjoy a winter vacation with us

Planning a winter vacation can be a struggle. One person wants peace and fishing, the rest of the family wants to ski, skate, or romp in the snow. It often ends in a compromise that no one is happy with.

At Lake Lipno, you don’t have to make compromises. We offer a unique combination where the fisherman has his territory directly under the window and the rest of the family has slopes and entertainment within easy reach. Apartments Nad rybníky in Hůrka are a place where dreams of a relaxing family vacation meet the passion for fishing.

For Fishermen: Fishing in Slippers

While the family is still asleep or getting ready for a trip, you can already be standing on the ice. Our apartments directly neighbor the Hůrka Fish Hatchery.

  • Territory right behind the fence: It’s only a few steps from the apartment door to the ice hole.
  • Maximum comfort: Are you cold? Out of coffee? Need to use the toilet? You’re back in the warmth of your apartment in a minute.
  • Adrenaline on the ice: Trout, char, and pike are waiting for you. We’ll lend you the equipment, so feel free to bring the kids — they often fall in love with ice fishing after the first catch.

And what about those who don’t fish?

While you enjoy the silence on the ice, the rest of the family certainly won’t be bored. You don’t even have to start the car – directly in the garden, even in winter, there is a trampoline and a children’s playground where kids can romp in the fresh air.
