Dolní Vltavice: Hotels and Accommodation

Dolní Vltavice is located on a peninsula surrounded on three sides by the waters of the Lipno Reservoir. At the same time, the water has visibly changed the history of the town: large parts of historic Dolní Vltavice were flooded by the Lipno Reservoir; only a few newer houses on higher ground survived.

If you are planning a stay in Dolní Vltavice, booking a hotel may be one of your options.

History and Culture

Dolní Vltavice was first mentioned in writing in 1268 and was granted town status in 1505. The former Church of St. Linhart was founded before 1355 and demolished before the Lipno Reservoir was flooded.

The chapel near Dolní Vltavice was built in 1648 as a memorial to the victims of a plague epidemic and rebuilt in its present form in 1753. Two protected lime trees grow next to the chapel; they are more than 350 years old. In the 1950s, at least seven bunkers with firing slits for heavy machine guns protected the crossing over the Vltava in Dolní Vltavice.

Water and Landscape

A sandy-green beach lies between the Dolní Vltavice ferry and the pier of the Hotel Resort Relax. At the beach of the RELAX Resort in Dolní Vltavice, pedal-powered kayaks, paddleboards, and motorboats that do not require a boating license are available for rent.

Getting Around

The Frymburk–Dolní Vltavice–Frymburk round trip takes one hour. Bicycles are carried as luggage on the Dolní Vltavice ferry service. The Schwarzenbergská cesta runs from Černá v Pošumaví via the ferry service in Dolní Vltavice to Kyselov.

For certain wind directions, a windsurfing guide lists Dolní Vltavice as the only suitable location; the waves there are described as rather average.
