Third part of the most popular middle section of the Vltava river.
A relatively short stretch (17 km) can be enriched by a longer stop in Český Krumlov and a tour of the monastery in Zlatá Koruna. You can stay in one place for two nights and make a trip on foot or by bike to Křížová hora in Český Krumlov, or to the distant surroundings of the river - for example, to Kleť mountain.

The minimum required water level is 60 cm. You can find the current water level on the Vltava River Basin website.
