Klení or a larger town center?

For choosing accommodation, the size of the place is especially important. Klení can be classified as a small village base. This suits travel planning in which the rural location itself is meant to be part of the stay. If, however, you prefer a larger town center, you should compare Klení with accommodations in a larger place before booking.

As a concrete reference point in the area, Okres Český Krumlov is an option. There you can place Klení within the wider district and compare other possible starting points without equating the small character of Klení with the entire district.
