### Lipno nad Vltavou – from village to holiday destination

The reservoir transformed Lipno. Discover the story of the village and the changing
landscape along its shores.

Read the story

Where boats now lie in the harbour and visitors stroll along the waterfront, a small
village once stood beside the Vltava River. Timber rafting connected this wooded
region with communities downstream. Wood and water shaped daily life long before
the arrival of modern tourism.

Work on the Lipno reservoir began in the early 1950s. For people living beside the
river, it brought profound change: old houses and familiar paths gave way, and new
housing was built. From 1958, the rising water permanently changed the landscape.
The river valley became a broad expanse of water.

Lipno nad Vltavou later developed into a holiday destination with a harbour, accommodation
and leisure activities. From the ship, it is easy to imagine this transformation
as your view moves from the lively waterfront to the wooded hills. Our trip ideas
offer inspiration for exploring on land.
