About this spot

Dolní Vltavice sits on the opposite (south-west) shore from Černá v Pošumaví, where the bridge crosses the lake. Kite guides list it among the five Lipno launches; it gets the same wind statistics as the rest of the lake.

No school is documented here. Treat the wind window as an estimate from the shoreline.

Needs local verification: Wind window is my estimate from the shoreline. Compiled in October 2026 from the Czech kiting association (Český svaz kitingu), kiteboarding.cz spot articles, Surfmagazín's Czech spot guide, school pages (Kitesport Lipno, Mushow Kiteschool, HARAKIRI kite kurzy), the South Bohemia tourism board and community spot lists (Kiteforum, Spotkitesurf). Pins are approximate, wind windows are partly my reading of the shoreline, and fishing, camping-fee and bathing-zone rules change by season — they need checking on site. Water temperature is a seasonal reservoir estimate; the marine model has no inland data.

Local hazards

  • No school or rescue on site
  • Cold water
  • Wind window estimated
