Friedberg: Culture, Cycling Route and Water Activities

Friedberg (Frymburk) combines cultural history, cycling and activities on the water into a versatile destination. Here, you can combine historical insights with a cycling tour along Lipno Reservoir, sports at the main beach and family-oriented experiences in the park. When choosing suitable accommodation, it is therefore particularly important whether culture, exercise, water or shared activities are the main focus.

Cultural History in the Centre of Friedberg

The Frymburk Museum is housed in a renovated building at Náměstí 5. It documents life in the region over the past centuries, as well as the profound changes brought about by the construction of Lipno Reservoir. The museum also displays, among other things, exhibits that disappeared beneath the reservoir's waters. The permanent exhibition includes prehistoric tools and various everyday objects dating from the 13th century to the present day. The chronological scope thus ranges from early settlement traces to the region's more recent history.

Another historical destination is the Church of St Bartholomew in Frymburk. It was founded in 1277, was originally Early Gothic and was completed in its present Late Gothic form in 1530. The museum focuses on regional changes and everyday history. The parish church complements this focus with Frymburk's long architectural and local history. Its development combines its foundation in 1277, its originally Early Gothic design and completion in its present Late Gothic form in 1530. Frymburk's local history thus encompasses regional ways of life, the changes brought about by the construction of the reservoir and the development of a sacred building through several construction phases.

Cycling and Inline Experiences by the Lake

The Jezerní cycling route runs along the lake and leads from Frymburk via Lipno to Přední Výtoň. The section between Frymburk and Lipno is illuminated at night. For day planning, the route therefore offers a clear course along the water, while the illuminated section has a distinctive character. The Jezerní inline route is also suitable for beginners and children and complements the range of activities for visitors who prefer travelling on wheels rather than by bicycle. Those who want to use different means of transport can choose between a bicycle and inline skates.

Main Beach: Sport and Water on One Side

At Frymburk's main beach, visitors can play pétanque, beach volleyball and nohejbal. Boats, pedal boats, paddleboards and sailing boats are also available for hire there. This provides both land-based activities and various ways to experience the lake directly. This focus suits a stay in which exercise and water activities shape the day's schedule.

Family Experiences in the Park

The Kubíkova educational trail in Frymburk Park includes a small zoo. The Médi Kubíka Children's Park also features an 85-metre-long water giant slide. Both attractions have their own focus: the educational trail combines nature and animals, while the slide offers a clearly defined experience in the children's park.
