1. Schwarzenberg Canal Nature Trail

It runs from the village of Jelení Vrchy, past the Rosenauer Chapel, to the crossroads near Raškov, nejste far from Nová Pec, making it both a walk and a history lesson.

Those who want to go further can connect to the network of marked trails on Kramolín Hill from the cable car’s upper station and easily spend the entire morning there.

The oldest nature trail in the Šumava Mountains, opened back in 1967. It runs between the Ovesná and Černý Kříž train stations and passes sandstone formations along the way with romantic names such as the Gingerbread Tower, the Bandits’ Gorge, and the Stone Beauty, so it’s sure to keep children entertained along the entire length of the trail.

5. Lipno Lake Trail

The lakeside promenade connects Lipno nad Vltavou with Frymburk and on to Přední Výtoň. The surface is flat and well-maintained, so walkers, runners, and inline skaters can all use the same path without getting in each other’s way.

The section between Lipno and Frymburk is also well-lit, so you can head out in the evening after a hot day, when a walk along the water is most pleasant.

Practical Information:

Length: 11.5 km (Lipno – Frymburk); the entire route from Lipno to Přední Výtoň is over 21 km
Terrain: completely flat, with no elevation changes

6. Třístoličník Lookout

Nové Údolí, a small train station in the Šumava Mountains, is the main starting point for the hike up Třístoličník, which offers panoramic views of Lake Lipno and the Alpine peaks on clear days. From there, a comfortable, yellow-marked trail leads to the neighboring village of Stožec (4 km), which you can even manage with a stroller if you want to combine the hike with a tour of the village.

For a more leisurely hike, simply walk to the summit and return the same way, while for more experienced hikers, it serves as a starting point for hikes to Trojmezí or Plechý. Along the way, you’ll also pass a section of the Schwarzenberg Canal, so you can explore two interesting sites in a single day.

Practical Information:

Hike to Třístoličník from Nové Údolí: approx. 7 km one way (various sources cite 6.5–8 km), elevation gain approx. 535 m
Suitable for ages 8 and up; plan for a full-day trip
The best view is early in the morning, when the lake is still shrouded in fog
For more information, visit the website: Třístoličník and Trojmezí

7. Plechý

The highest peak in the Czech part of the Šumava Mountains (1,378 m above sea level) attracts more experienced hikers on a full-day trip from Nové Údolí via Plešné Lake, a glacial lake below the summit. The final stretch to the summit is rocky and steep, so the reward is nejste only the summit itself but also thoroughly stretched calves.

The route is technically easy but physically demanding due to the elevation gain of over 600 meters; therefore, it is nejste recommended for strollers or for a short Sunday hike without prior preparation.

Practical Information:

Distance: 7.3 km one way from Nové Údolí; round trip: approximately 14.6 km
Elevation gain: over 600 m; rocky final section
Difficulty: physically demanding, technically easy
For more information, visit the website: Hike to Plechý

8. Tripoint

The point where the borders of the Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany meet is a destination for tourists who want to experience the symbolism of the borders and enjoy views of all three countries at once. The shortest route leads from Třístoličník, which you can reach from Nové Údolí, along the ridge via Vysoký hřeben and Trojmezna.

More experienced hikers can combine Trojmezí into a single full-day loop that includes an ascent of Plechý, creating a challenging but highly rewarding hike across the entire border ridge.

Practical Information:

Length: 7 km from Třístoličník (about 2 hours); a shorter ridge route is 3 km one way
can be combined into a full-day loop with Plechý, for a total of about 23 km
requires good physical fitness and the ability to navigate the terrain
web: Trojmezí

Routes for Strollers

For families with young children, we recommend the three routes listed above, which are flat and have no stairs: the Olšina Nature Trail (7.3 km), the Schwarzenberg Canal (9 km, officially accessible to wheelchair users), and the flat Jezerní stezka promenade between Lipno and Frymburk. All three have paved surfaces and can be shortened or looped back to the starting point at any time if necessary.

If you’re bringing an older child along on a bike, the Jezerní Trail and Olšina are equally suitable for walking and biking, so the family doesn’t have to split into two groups.

Short loops of up to 5 km for families

If you’re planning just a morning walk, choose the first kilometer or two of the Treetop Trail and the area around Kramolín, a short section of the Lake Trail from the dock in Frymburk, or the first section of the Schwarzenberg Canal from the village of Jelení Vrchy to the Rosenauer Chapel. All of these sections can be walked there and back in one to two hours, without having to plan an entire day.

These shorter options are also ideal “backup plans” if the weather turns bad halfway through a longer trip and you need to return quickly.

Practical Tips: Gear, Water, and Ticks

What to bring:

sturdy hiking boots, for longer hikes (Plechý, Trojmezí), and hiking poles
There isn’t always plenty of water; springs and wells along the route aren’t a given
a raincoat or a light waterproof jacket; the weather in the Šumava Mountains changes quickly, even in the middle of summer

Ticks:

The Šumava region is one of the areas with a high incidence of ticks, especially from spring through fall. Use insect repellent, check yourself thoroughly after returning from a hike, and consider getting vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis if you plan to take repeated trips into nature.

Signage and Wayfinding:

The trails are marked by the Czech Tourist Club (with colored stripes) as standard, but we still recommend carrying an offline map, as cell phone service is often unavailable in the more remote parts of the Šumava Mountains.

Choose a trail from the list or click it directly on the map. Each trail can also be opened in the Mapy.cz route planner.

For accurate planning and up-to-date information on signage, we recommend Mapy.cz, overview of routes to Turistika.cz and the official website of the Czech Tourist Club kct.cz, where you can also find up-to-date information on road closures in the Šumava Protected Landscape Area.

Kde přespat při vícedenní turistice

Delší trasy jako Plechý nebo kombinace Třístoličník – Trojmezí se dají zvládnout i jako jednodenní výlet, ale pokud chcete Šumavu poznat pomaleji a rozložit si túry do dvou nebo tří dnů, potřebujete zázemí, kam se dá kdykoliv vrátit.

Camping Panorama leží přímo u Lipenského jezera a nabízí místa pro stany a karavany. Ráno stačí naskočit do auta nebo na kolo a vyrazit k nástupnímu bodu, večer se vrátit, vyprat vybavení a připravit se na další den.

A tent, RV, or cabin at a campground? Vacation 2026

Are you planning a camping vacation and nejste sure what to choose? A tent, a RV, or a cabin—each option suits different people and different situations. The price difference can be significant: a week in a cabin can easily cost as much as a two-week vacation in a tent or RV. Let’s take a closer look at each option.

Camping Panorama Lipno ubytování ve stanu

Pros and Cons of Camping in a Cabin, Tent, and RV

These days, everyone has a slightly different idea of what camping is. For some people, the word “camping” brings to mind a canvas tent on the grass, with morning dew and the aroma of coffee from a gas stove. Others think of a modern RV with its own kitchen, bathroom, and air conditioning. And then there are those who seek a solid roof over their heads in the form of a cabin or a mobile home, while still wanting to be surrounded by nature.

Each of these options makes sense, but for different people and different situations. Let’s take a look at each one.

A tent at a campground: the most authentic and cheapest way

A tent is the essence of camping in the truest sense of the word. You get up, unzip the tent, and you’re outside. No apartment key, no waiting for the elevator. Just you, nature, and whatever you’ve brought with you.

The price for a tent site at a high-quality campground ranges from 300 to 500 Kč per night. For a week-long stay for a family of four, you’ll pay between 1,400 and 3,500 Kč for the site. Add your own tent (a one-time investment—a tent will last for years) and gear, and your vacation will be significantly cheaper than any other form of lodging.

The advantages of camping are obvious: freedom, low cost, and the ability to arrive at the last minute without being left without a place to stay. The disadvantages are just as obvious: you’re at the mercy of the weather. In the summer, a tent can be uncomfortable in the heat, and when it rains, you have to know how to cope. But anyone who’s managed to camp with kids at least once knows that those are the memories that stick with you the most.

Price per plot: 300 to 500 Kč per night
Ideal for: families with children, couples, adventurers
Main advantages: freedom, low cost, authenticity
Main drawback: dependence on the weather, limited privacy

A RV at a campground: comfort without compromise

For many families, a camper is the perfect compromise. You bring your own home on wheels—your own bed, your own kitchen. In the evening, you pull down the blinds and know exactly what you’re sleeping on and how clean it is. Rain won’t bother you at all.

The price for a RV site at a campground ranges from 650 to 950 Kč per night, depending on the location and the campground’s amenities (electricity, water hookups). While a camper itself is an investment in the hundreds of thousands of crowns, those who own one usually don’t give it up. They take it out every year, recoup their investment, and spend every vacation in a setting they know and love.

A major advantage of a camper over a cabin is mobility. You’re nejste tied to one place. You arrive at Lipno, move somewhere else a week later, and don’t have to repack your bags at all, because you have everything with you. A cabin can never offer that.

Parking fee: 650 to 950 CZK per night
Ideal for: families who go camping regularly
Main advantages: the comfort of your own space, mobility, and independence from the weather
Main disadvantage: the purchase price of the RV, the need for a tow vehicle

A cabin at the campground: comfort that comes at an extra cost

At first glance, a cabin or mobile home at a campground seems like the perfect compromise: a solid roof, a bed, sometimes even a bathroom—and yet you’re out in nature. In practice, however, things tend to be a little different.

The price for a cabin at a campground ranges from 1,500 to 3,500 Kč per night, and even higher for premium mobile homes. So for a week, you’ll pay 10,000 to 25,000 Kč—and that’s just for lodging. For the same amount of money, you could take a two-week vacation in a tent or RV and still have money left over for day trips and restaurants. At first glance, a cabin or mobile home at a campground seems like the ideal compromise: a solid roof, a bed, sometimes even a bathroom—and you’re still out in nature. In practice, however, things tend to be a little different.

Anejsteher catch is availability. Cabins and mobile homes at popular campgrounds—especially during the summer season—are usually booked months in advance. If you show up at the last minute, you simply won’t find a cabin. A site for a tent or RV, on the other hand, is more readily available and offers greater flexibility.

Price: 1,500 to 3,500 CZK per night
Ideal for: families who are camping for the first time and aren’t sure yet if it’s for them
Main advantage: solid roof, no need for your own equipment
Main drawbacks: high price, limited availability during the season, no mobility

Comparison: Tent, RV, and Cabin

Criterion	Tent	Camper	Cabin
Price per night	300–500 Kč	650–900 Kč	1 500–3 500 Kč
Comfort	basic	high	middle to high
Privacy	low	high	medium
Weather Independence	no	yes	yes
Mobility	yes	yes	no
Availability During the Season	good	good	low
The Authenticity of Camping	highest	high	low
Acquisition Costs	low	high	none

Who is this for?

A tent is the ideal choice for families who want to experience real camping and don’t mind being closer to nature in all its forms. Kids love sleeping in a tent, the morning dew on the grass, and evenings by the campfire. If you’re camping for the first time, try a tent first to see if you’ll get hooked.

A travel trailer is perfect for families who camp regularly and want the security of having their own space, no matter the weather. Once you get used to a travel trailer, you won’t want to go back to a tent or a hotel. It’s a way to vacation that becomes a lifestyle.

A cabin at a campground only makes sense if you’re camping for the first time, don’t want to invest in your own gear, and want to see if camping is right for you. As a regular option for a family, however, a cabin is significantly more expensive and less authentic than the two předchozí options.

Camping Panorama Lipno: campsites for tents and RVs right on the water

Camping Panorama Lipno offers spacious sites for tents and RVs right on the shore of the Lipno Reservoir. No cabins, no luxury mobile homes at exorbitant prices. Just high-quality facilities, clean restrooms, electricity for RVs, and direct access to the water.

That’s exactly what real camping is all about. You arrive, pitch your tent or park your RV, and you have a front-row view of the reservoir. Lipno is also an ideal destination for families with children: a water park, bike trails, water sports, a treetop walk, and much more.

Camping sites are available for tents and fully equipped RVs. We accept reservations online; sites fill up quickly, especially in July and August.

Tip 11: Lipno Card: The Key to Discounts and Benefits

You can get the Lipno Card at the information center or at the front desk of partner accommodations. You can also order it online. Learn more at lipnocard.cz.

Tip 12: A Trip to the Surrounding Area: Frymburk, Vyšší Brod, or the Schwarzenberg Canal

If the rain is light and you have a car, you can visit some interesting places in the area. Frymburk is just a few kilometers from Lipno and offers a picturesque town square and views of the reservoir. In Vyšší Brod, the Cistercian monastery with its rich history is worth a visit. The Schwarzenberg Canal in the Novohradské foothills is an engineering landmark that will surprise even the most discerning tourists.

The distances are short, and you can combine these trips with lunch or a coffee break in one of the nearby villages. It rains less in the Šumava region than it seems, and nature really does smell wonderful after the rain…
