Frymburk: nad Vltavou
The landscape around Frymburk is defined by the broad Lipno Reservoir and forested foothills of the Šumava range, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The reservoir lies on the Vltava and is Czechia’s largest body of water by surface area; its long shoreline gives Frymburk a distinctly waterside character in South Bohemia. First recorded in 1277, the town retains a compact centre around its square, where the Church of St Bartholomew is its principal historic landmark. Wooded shores on the opposite side of Lipno underline Frymburk’s close connection with the wider Šumava landscape.
