Walking & panoramas
On a wooded ridge above Lipno stand the ruins of Vítkův Hrádek, also known as Wittinghausen. Weathered stone walls and wide views make this a rewarding destination for an outing to the quieter side of the lake.
The medieval castle stands at an altitude of 1,035 metres and also inspired the writer Adalbert Stifter. The outlook takes in the Šumava landscape and Lipno, with the Alps visible in clear conditions.
Combine your visit with a walk in the surrounding countryside. The official website provides access details, opening times and news of events at the castle.
