The longest skating track in the world
A popular activity in winter months is skating on the frozen Lipno, which attracts thousands of visitors from all over the Czech Republic and abroad
Duration of the trip: 1 week
- Lake Lipno freezes over from December to March
- As soon as the ice reaches a safe thickness, the best skating track in the Czech Republic with a length of over 11 km is regularly groomed between Lipno nad Vltavou and Frymburk.
- The skating track is 6-8 metres wide and entry is free
- It is the longest natural skating track in the world that is regularly groomed
- Cross-country skiing on the frozen Lipno is also possible
My experience:
Combining skiing and skating is only possible at Lipno, just as is having an up to 11 km long trip on skates
Extra tip:
The starting point of the skating track is by the Captaincy of the Marina Lipno dock. There you can borrow skates.
Did you know?
The skating track is groomed with a special machine which is even able to float. Ice is regularly measured to ensure 100% safety of skaters.
