Lake Lipno is the largest reservoir that the Czech Republic has to offer. It is part of the Vltava Cascades, a coordinated system of dams that generates energy via power plants, but also protects against flooding. Visitors to Lake Lipno don't notice much of this, they are more likely to notice the many rowing and sailing boats. Huge spruce forests spread out around the lake, surrounded by muddy swamps. This natural landscape is still home to partridges, peregrine falcons, eagle owls, sea eagles, but also badgers and elk. Pike, carp, catfish and crayfish can be found in the lake itself. The region around Lake Lipno is one of the most popular holiday regions in the Czech Republic. If you still want to get away for a few days, you can still find a quiet campsite by the water - especially in the off-season.
