🛶 Water, boats… and castle towers!
Combine sport with a cultural experience – on the Vltava, it’s easier than you think.
As you paddle down the river from Vyšší Brod, you’re not only riding the current – you’re heading towards a majestic stop with a view of Rožmberk Castle.
And if you're in the mood for more than just a riverside view, climb the beautiful Jakobínka Tower, rising above the water – the panorama is worth every step! 🏰🌲
📸 Who says paddling isn’t a cultural sport?
Share your photo from the castle, the tower, or the water – and tag us:
🎒 Tip: Pull your boat ashore, grab a bite in Rožmberk, and climb up – the view will be your reward after a perfect day on the river.

🌞 Summer by the Vltava? Even better in the water!
As temperatures rise, the Vltava River becomes the perfect spot not just for paddlers, but for anyone looking to cool off.
💦 At selected spots along the river, you'll find swimming docks, ideal for taking a dip, relaxing, or just soaking up the sun.
💧 Where the Vltava is born...
At an altitude of 731 metres, hidden in the silence of the Šumava wilderness near the village of Chlum, a quiet yet significant moment takes place:
👉 The meeting of the Warm and Cold Vltava.
💙 The Warm Vltava, flowing from the Šumava plains, joins here with its Bavarian “sister” – the Cold Vltava, coming in from Germany.
📍 And right at this very spot, the main stream of the Vltava River as we know it begins.
🌿 A place where silence reigns
The area around the confluence, known as Mrtvý luh, is protected, wild, and filled with peace.
No crowds, no noise – just water, peat bogs, forest... and the feeling that you're standing at the beginning of something much bigger.

🚴♀️ Summer at Lipno? Have you tried a pedal boat yet?!
Sunshine, water, blue skies, and the best view right from the surface! 🚤☀️
Pedal boats on Lipno are a true classic – whether you're going as a couple, with kids, or a group of friends. Just a few pedals and the lake is yours to explore.
📍 Find your peaceful spot on the lake and let yourself drift – at your own pace, no rush.
📸 Share your pedal boat adventure and tag – we’d love to see who’s already “pedaled” across the water!

🌅 Every day is different, yet always magical...
Evenings by the river are always a little quieter. The sun slowly dips below the horizon, the forest loses the colors of the day, and the water gently reflects the golden light.
📍 This moment – a sunset over the Vltava – doesn’t need words. It just needs to be felt. Ideally with someone who enjoys the peace alongside you. 🐾
🐶 Do you have your own quiet corner by the Vltava?
Share your sunset photo and tag us! We’d love to highlight your special moment too. ✨
