Vítkův hrádek castle is sometimes referred to as Vítkův kámen is the highest castle in the Czech Republic 1035 m above sea level Today it is a castle ruin. It was founded in the 14th century. It was opened to the public only in 2005. It is a beautiful little castle, but what it offers today is a spectacle. Here, behind me and in the words of others, is the best view of the Lipno Reservoir. And there is really something to look at. To do this, you can get near the castle by car. But I recommend visiting in low season or off weekends. Parking and transport to it is not the most convenient. In any case, both cycle paths and hiking trails lead here.

In Sv. Tomas is a short walk from the castle. All routes also meet here.

I was very interested in this. Today it is one of the most visited castles in Šumava.

Courtyard

Beautiful small courtyard with a podium. I could imagine an evening concert here.

Lipno Dam

This view is unique and as many say there is no better view of the dam. It offers a 360 ° view and other views for those you have to come here for yourself.
