Cycling for the Most Beautiful View of Lake Lipno

Enjoy a great cycle route that will take you from Lake Lipno to Vítkův Hrádek. A historic monument from where you can enjoy an amazing view.

The cycle route starts in Hůrka and leads through Černá v Pošumaví and Bližná to Dolní Vltavice. Here you will board a ferry that will take you across Lake Lipno. After getting off the ferry, a more demanding climb to Vítkův Hrádek awaits you. That bit of hard work is worth it. You will enjoy not only panoramic views of the Lake Lipno region but also refreshments.
