Dolní Vltavice: Apartments and Holiday Homes

Dolní Vltavice is located on a peninsula surrounded on three sides by the waters of the Lipno Reservoir. Large parts of historic Dolní Vltavice were flooded by the Lipno Reservoir; only a few newer houses on higher ground survived.

History and Memorial Sites

Dolní Vltavice was first mentioned in writing in 1268. In 1505, it was elevated to town status. The former Church of St. Linhart is part of the area's earlier history: it was founded before 1355 and demolished before the Lipno Reservoir was flooded.

A chapel near Dolní Vltavice was built in 1648 as a memorial to the victims of a plague epidemic. In 1753, it was rebuilt into its present form. Two protected lime trees, more than 350 years old, grow next to the chapel. In the 1950s, at least seven bunkers with embrasures for heavy machine guns defended the crossing over the Vltava in Dolní Vltavice.

Water at the Lipno Reservoir

The Frymburk–Dolní Vltavice–Frymburk round trip takes one hour. Bicycles are carried as luggage on the Dolní Vltavice ferry service. A sandy-green beach lies between the Dolní Vltavice ferry and the pier of the Hotel Resort Relax.

At the beach of Resort RELAX, pedal-powered kayaks, paddleboards and motorboats are available for rent; no boating licence is required for the motorboats.

Paths and Wind

The Schwarzenberg Road runs from Černá v Pošumaví via the ferry service in Dolní Vltavice to Kyselov. For certain wind directions, Dolní Vltavice is considered the only suitable location; the waves there are rather average.
