Family Lake Lipno cycling route with swimming and a ferry (19.5 km, 50 m) 10+
We have personally tested this route with children. A relaxing ride on the flat along the water, stops for swimming and ice cream, and a ferry return as the highlight.
How to keep kids entertained without exhausting yourself? Head out on a relaxed cycling route from Lake Lipno (Lipno nad Vltavou) to Frymburk. We’ve tested it with kids and can recommend it – it’s the most popular cycling route for children at Lake Lipno.
The route starts in Lipno nad Vltavou, where right by the bike path you’ll find a beach with refreshments and a playground. From here, you ride 8.5 km safely and almost flat along the lake towards Frymburk. Along the way, you can also swim “off the beaten path” at smaller beaches with fewer people – usually just a few fishermen, which makes it a fun little adventure for kids. More swimming and refreshments await directly at the Frymburk beach, where kids will enjoy the playground and parents can relax at the restaurant La Pláža.
