Ice skating at Lake Lipno is one of the biggest winter attractions in the entire Bohemian Forest. It’s not just about the famous Ice Highway, but also about kilometers of open ice, quieter sections for families, and facilities that ensure everyone enjoys themselves – from children on their first skates to enthusiasts wanting to cross the entire reservoir.
Ledová magistrála na Lipně je zážitek pro celou rodinu – až 11 km dlouhá upravená trasa mezi Frymburkem a Lipnem nad Vltavou. Bruslení na zamrzlé přehradě si užijí malí i velcí.
Zamrzlé Lipno není jen o bruslích – zkuste hokej s kamarády, adrenalinový kitewing na bruslích (jízda s tažným křídlem) nebo se prostě jen projet po nekonečné ledové ploše.
Ice skating at Lake Lipno isn’t just about the well-known circuit of the Lipno Ice Highway between Lipno nad Vltavou and Frymburk. Every winter, weather permitting, other routes are also maintained – for example, directly from us in Hůrka to Horní Planá and further towards Pernek. This allows you to choose whether you want to skate long kilometers between the main centers or enjoy quieter sections with less traffic and beautiful views of the frozen reservoir.
Lipno is also the largest frozen surface in the Czech Republic, and every winter, routes are created here that have no competition. That’s why ice skating at Lake Lipno is one of those experiences featured in media and travel guides alike.
Ice skating at Lake Lipno has an atmosphere you won’t experience elsewhere. Mountains in the background, snow-covered shores, and kilometers of open ice create a backdrop that turns ordinary skating into a small winter festival. It’s an ideal choice for families, a romantic trip for two, or a group of friends who want to take a long circuit and end it with hot tea on the shore.
Even though ice skating at Lake Lipno is a great experience, it pays to know a few rules. The ice is not equally thick everywhere – it tends to be weaker near bridges, in bays with tributaries, or in places where ferries used to run (e.g., in Frymburk or Horní Planá). These differences are often impossible to tell from the surface.
Therefore, always follow the recommendations of municipalities and rental shops, which monitor the state of the ice and the routes. This ensures you enjoy skating to the fullest and safely. There’s also a simple rule – stick to places where more people are skating, and don’t venture out alone where you don’t know the area.
Don’t have your own skates? No problem. In Lipno nad Vltavou, Frymburk, and Horní Planá, you can find skate and equipment rentals, often including sharpening services. In many places, you can also have a hot drink or something to warm up, making even a longer stay on the ice pleasant.
After a day spent on skates, a place where the whole family can relax is always welcome. Our comfortable apartments for families with children are an ideal base – you’re just a few steps from the ice.
When you want to take a break from skating, Lake Lipno offers other winter experiences. Head out on trips, discover cross-country trails, nearby ski slopes, take the kids sledding, enjoy wellness, snow-covered monuments, or try ice fishing in Hůrka.
Book your stay in time while there is still something to choose from.
We look forward to seeing you!
