Trail through the treetops Lipno

Above Lipno nad Vltavou and the water reservoir of the same name, the Treetop Trail rises at the top of Kramolín. It is a 40-metre high wooden structure with metal elements, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view not only of the reservoir, but also of part of Šumava and the Novohradské hory. The entire trail, which was opened in 2012, is wheelchair accessible and the path to the top is very gradual – you can manage it with a stroller and smaller children – just be careful, dogs are not allowed on the trail. However, there are pens for them.

The journey to the top of the trail takes about 10 – 15 minutes, there are several smaller attractions and educational boards along the way – especially for children. The way down can be “shortened” by descending in a 52-metre long dry slide. However, it may not be open all year round.

Although it is not a completely cheap affair, we must admit that it is a beautiful trip in the Lipno area. You can get to the top of the trail either by paid transport from Lipno nad Vltavou, by chairlift or on foot. We chose the third option and took the yellow trail from the parking lot at Kramolín, from where it is less than 2 kilometers to the top. If you go here in winter, you need to think about the fact that you will have to cross the slope.

Near the Treetop Trail there is also the Lipno Forest Kingdom Park, another great attraction for children. However, it is not open year-round like the trail.
