The Vltava River is undoubtedly the most famous Czech river. The most popular section is the upper fork above the Lipno Dam. The river fl ows through unspoiled landscapes in the Šumava National Park. In the section from Vyšší Brod to Boršov the river fi ghts its way through a narrow wooded valley rich in historic places of interest, e.g. the castle of Rožmberk, the monastries in Vyšší Brod and Zlatá Koruna, the ruin of Dívčí Kámen. Canoeing along the river alongside the historical town of Cesky Krumlov will be an unforgettable experience.
