Vimperk

Vimperk occupies the foothills of the Šumava Mountains in Czechia’s South Bohemian Region. The Volyňka River runs through this small town, whose compact centre rises toward Vimperk Castle. Founded as a medieval stronghold and repeatedly rebuilt, the castle preserves layers of Gothic, Renaissance and later architecture; it now houses the town museum. Vimperk grew beside the Golden Trail, the historic trading route that carried salt and other goods between Bohemia and Bavaria. Its position also makes it a practical base for exploring the forests, upland settlements and marked routes of the Šumava.
