history

The small settlement on the left bank of the Vltava originally belonged to the Rosenbergs and became the property of the Vyšší Brod monastery in the 15th century . The first written mention of the place took place in 1530. At that time it had about 150 inhabitants, who lived mainly from rafting . Lips was inhabited by Germans until the Germans were expelled from Czechoslovakia in 1945/46.

When the Lipno Dam was built in the 1950s and 1960s, the original Lipno lumberjack settlement was almost completely demolished and flooded. The new settlement that was built directly on the new reservoir was located on the economic periphery during the communist era. Today the Lipno region is one of the most popular recreational areas in the Czech Republic and is also visited by many foreign tourists.

tourism

Holiday village and marina

After the Velvet Revolution , most local businesses lost their competitiveness. The municipality therefore tried to attract investors who invest in tourism. In 1997 the municipality started negotiations with a Dutch investor who then built the Marina Lipno apartment complex, one of the largest marinas in Central Europe. After that, other investors joined in and built a water park, developed the local ski area, built a snowboard park, toboggan runs, a summer theater, golf courses and other attractions.

In winter, the area has 35 kilometers of cross-country ski trails and several downhill trails for skiers and snowboarders. In 2005 an ice skating marathon took place on the frozen lake for the first time. In summer, tourists mainly use the numerous campsites and cycle paths. Water sports include sailing , kayaking and rafting . In 2003 the rafting world championship took place here. Swimming is possible on the sandy beaches and in the indoor pool, which was opened in 2003.
