The gift of water and its joys

You can swim in the river right in the centre of the town at ready access points, experience an unusual sightseeing tour from a raft or canoe floating down the river. And if the Vltava in Krumlov is not enough for you, you can head to the nearby "Czech Sea" Lipno Lake.
