Frymburk: Saint Bartholomew church - Lipno Dam
Tucked along the shore of the Lipno Reservoir, Frymburk is a place whose character is shaped by the Vltava’s broad impounded waters. The reservoir was created by the Lipno I dam, completed in 1959, and is Czechia’s largest reservoir by surface area. Frymburk stands on the reservoir’s northern shore, where a waterside promenade and beach connect with the town centre. The Church of St Bartholomew, marked by its tower, is the town’s principal architectural landmark. The wooded hills of the Bohemian Forest surround a region associated with boating, cycling and lakeside breaks, close to the Austrian border.
