Horni Plana

Tucked along the shore of Lipno Reservoir in the Šumava foothills, Horní Planá is a place whose character is shaped by the wide impounded waters of the Vltava. The reservoir, created on the river in the 20th century, has made this part of South Bohemia a setting for sailing, swimming and shoreline walks, while wooded land rises beyond the town. Horní Planá is also the birthplace of Adalbert Stifter, the Bohemian-born Austrian writer and painter; his former home is preserved as a museum. The town lies close to the Czech–Austrian border, in a region where the Šumava’s forests and lake country define the pace of travel.
