Canoeing
There, where the Lipno Dam begins, you will find the most beautiful section of the Vltava River, which is navigable for water tourists from spring to autumn, with good water conditions. Although Lipno is the largest water area in the Czech Republic, just a few meters behind the dam there is a perfect zone for water tourists. Sportspeople with slalom, downhill, or rodeo boats know this place very well, and athletes with rafts also come here. They say that only experienced professionals can ride the river under Lipno.
As the Teplá Vltava River is located in the National Park of the Bohemian Forest, it is necessary to follow some regulations, but this is a matter of fact for all who respect nature and want to behave responsibly on the water. You cannot miss the beautiful and unique scenery, which you will see only from the upper river stream. This section can be enjoyed in kayaks and canoes, and we can arrange to transport you to the place where your trip begins. If you really like long paddling, then you can ride directly to the rental service in Černá v Pošumaví across Lipno Lake.
