In addition to walks through the historic center and water fun, Frymburk also offers a leisurely hike with beautiful views – the ascent along the Frymburk Way of the Cross. This path, winding up the slope of Marta Hill above the town, will take you through picturesque nature and reward you with views of the Lake Lipno region and the Šumava Mountains.
An easy trip to Marta Hill via the Way of the Cross from Frymburk
Looking for a short but impressive trip near Lake Lipno? The Way of the Cross leading from the parking lot at the ski resort offers the perfect combination of natural beauty, historical elements, and views.
This undemanding trip to Marta Hill begins at the main road in Frymburk and gradually climbs through wooded terrain. The path is lined with historic stone pillars with reliefs, which originally served pilgrims for contemplation. With every vertical meter, increasingly impressive views of the Lake Lipno reservoir, the opposite green shores, and the majestic Šumava ridges in the distance will open up to you.
The chapel at the summit, where you can take a well-deserved rest
At the top of your journey, you will discover the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows (Vysoká Muka) and the Marta viewpoint, which provides a perfect place to rest. Surrounded only by the sounds of nature, you can forget your daily worries for a while.
The chapel itself is usually closed, but if you’re lucky and look inside, you’ll see the original altar with the Calvary – a cross with the Crucified, the Virgin Mary, and St. John. It is this detail that gives the place a unique atmosphere and reminds us of its pilgrimage significance.
The trip via the Way of the Cross from Frymburk is suitable for everyone, including families with children. It will take you approximately an hour or two depending on the chosen pace. The surface is well-maintained, yet we recommend sturdy footwear. The Way of the Cross above Frymburk offers a great experience with little effort.
