route description

Into the Black Forest
If you’re afraid, you shouldn’t go into the woods – and definitely not into the dark ones. But this time, there’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s the perfect moment to set out and explore the beautiful Czech forests! Part of this route includes a train ride back from the Rožmberk stop to Vyšší Brod on the so-called Lipenská line. It’s an ideal trip for families with children – the train follows the Vltava River, which in this stretch is full of paddlers enjoying the water.
