The Lipno Treetop Walkway (Stezka korunami stromů Lipno) is one of the most popular and unique attractions in the Czech Republic, offering visitors an unforgettable experience high above the forests of the Šumava (Bohemian Forest). Located near Lipno nad Vltavou in South Bohemia, it allows guests to walk among the treetops and discover nature from a completely new perspective.
Opened in 2012, the walkway was designed as a modern educational and recreational attraction that combines nature exploration with architectural innovation. The structure rises gradually above the forest floor, guiding visitors along a gently ascending wooden path that leads to the main observation tower at the top.
The walkway stretches through pristine forest landscapes, where visitors can observe the rich biodiversity of the Šumava region. Along the route, educational stations provide information about forest ecosystems, wildlife, tree species, and the importance of conservation. This makes the experience not only visually impressive but also highly informative.
At the top of the structure stands a 30-meter-high observation tower, offering panoramic views over the Lipno Reservoir, the surrounding forests, and on clear days even distant mountain ranges in Austria and Germany. The view from the top is one of the most spectacular in South Bohemia.
One of the highlights of the Lipno Treetop Walkway is its adrenaline slide inside the tower, which provides a fun and exciting way to descend back down. This feature makes the attraction especially popular among families and younger visitors.
The entire structure is carefully integrated into the natural environment, built mainly from wood and designed to blend harmoniously with the surrounding forest. The walkway is accessible year-round, offering different experiences in each season — lush greenery in summer, colorful foliage in autumn, snowy landscapes in winter, and fresh awakening nature in spring.
The Lipno Treetop Walkway is also part of a wider network of attractions in the Lipno region, including hiking trails, cycling routes, the Lipno Reservoir, and nearby ski areas. This makes it a central highlight for visitors exploring South Bohemia.
Today, it stands as one of the most iconic nature-based attractions in the Czech Republic, combining adventure, education, and breathtaking scenery in a single experience.
