Enjoy this great cycle path around Lake Lipno. The Lakeside Cycle Path keeps you close to the reservoir at all times, so you can enjoy beautiful views of the water and the surrounding landscape. It is ideal for those who do not want to undertake a demanding full-day trip but still want to explore the beauty of Lake Lipno. It’s great that you’ll enjoy the ferry twice, first in Horní Planá and then again Frýdava – Frymburk.
You can start the loop in Hůrka, from where it is about 7 km to the ferry in Horní Planá via Cycle path no. 33 (Šumavská). On the other side, in Bližší Lhota, you continue along Cycle path no. 1033 (Vltavská). Initially through the forest and soon you’ll get closer to Lake Lipno. Further through Kyselov, you continue to Frýdava, where the second ferry to Frymburk awaits. From Frymburk, you will go through Milná, past the Pláničský pond to Černá v Pošumaví and back to Hůrka.
You can easily shorten the route by using the ferry in Dolní Vltavice.

A sports circuit for fitter cyclists. It starts with a relaxing descent along the Vltava River past the Devil's Wall, followed by a challenging climb and a return by ferry across Lipno.
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.
Lipno isn't just about flat routes. Head to Špičák for a short but intense ride mostly on quality asphalt. You will be rewarded with deep forests and the silence of the military area without crowds.
Asking how many km it is around Lipno? Get ready for a 79 km challenge. A full-day trip with magnificent views where you will cycle around the entire lake and climb over 700 meters.
