### Frymburk – stories from a peninsula

An old market square, a distinctive church and memories of Adalbert Stifter: get
to know Frymburk from the water.

Read the story

Frymburk stands on a peninsula in Lake Lipno. St Bartholomew’s Church is a distinctive
landmark on the shore. Behind it lies the historic centre with its long market square,
a reminder of Frymburk’s importance as a trading place.

Trade routes crossed this region long before the reservoir existed. They linked 
Bohemia with Austrian territories, and salt was among the important goods carried
along them. Wars and fires repeatedly changed the settlement. The great fire of 
1856 left a particularly deep mark.

Adalbert Stifter also had ties to Frymburk. His visits and the memory of Fanny Greipl
are part of its local history, and a monument commemorates the writer. After leaving
the ship, you can combine a walk from the lake with a visit to the square. The local
ferry to the southern shore is a separate transport service from LIPNO LINE cruises.
