The Schwarzenberg Navigation Canal
The Schwarzenberg Navigation Canal in the Šumava region connects a tributary of the Studená Vltava with the Austrian river Große Mühl. It has been a part of Šumava for over 300 years. It is a popular destination for both walking and cycling trips, including family outings with young children.

Stroll along the 675-meter-long wooden path that takes you up to 25 meters above the ground, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Lipno Reservoir and the surrounding Šumava region. At the top, you'll find a viewing tower, perfect for panoramic photos. The walkway is suitable for all age groups and also features interactive educational elements about the local fauna and flora.
Bear trail
The oldest educational trail in Southern Bohemia (the second oldest in the Czech Republic), passing through the Šumava Protected Landscape Area. This hiking trail winds through Šumava forests, featuring many interesting rock formations and a stop at the Schwarzenberg Navigation Canal. At one point, the trail commemorates the last Šumava bear, after which the trail is named.
Plechý a Plešné jezero
Plechý, the highest peak of the Šumava mountain range, offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape and is a great spot for hiking. Along the way, make a stop at Plešné Lake, one of the most beautiful glacial lakes in the Czech Republic, known for its crystal-clear water and picturesque surroundings. This hike takes you to the heart of Šumava, where the tranquility of nature combines with unforgettable panoramic views.
Ferry
The ferry on Lipno is a quick and comfortable way to cross the Lipno Reservoir. It offers beautiful views of the surrounding nature and allows you to explore both sides of the reservoir. We recommend taking the ferry in Horní Planá, Frymburk, Dolní Vltavice, or enjoying an experiential boat ride from Černá v Pošumaví.
