Hory: Cycling routes by Lipno Water

Two cycling routes with different itineraries can be planned for a trip to Hory. One leads from the beach in Horní Planá through Hory and Bělá along Lipno Water and connects to an existing path to Nová Pec. The other is an 18 km cycling loop through Pernek-Hory, Bělá, Nová Pec and Bližší Lhota; on the way back, take the ferry to Horní Planá. This means trip planning centers on a route along the water and a loop with a ferry ride back.

The cycle path through Hory and Bělá

The cycle path from the beach in Horní Planá runs through Hory and Bělá along Lipno Water. Its surface is completely flat, and the path is suitable for families with children. It also connects to an existing path to Nová Pec. This gives you a clear choice between the described section of the route and continuing along the existing path. For families who prioritize a flat surface when planning, the path conditions and its stated suitability offer concrete guidance. If you would like to continue cycling toward Nová Pec, you can include the connection to the existing path in your plans.

The 18 km loop

The 18 km cycling loop runs from Horní Planá through Pernek-Hory, Bělá, Nová Pec and Bližší Lhota. The return to Horní Planá is by ferry. The distance, intermediate stops and ferry ride are all part of this tour: it is described not only by its distance in kilometers, but also by the sequence of places and the planned return journey. If you plan to take the loop, check the ferry connection for your chosen day. This way, you can account for the return trip as an integral part of the tour instead of considering it only after planning the rest of the route.

Which route suits your plans?

When choosing between the two routes, considering the itinerary you want is more helpful than making a general assessment. The path from the beach through Hory and Bělá runs along Lipno Water and continues to the existing path toward Nová Pec; the loop takes you through the places listed and back to Horní Planá, with the ferry forming part of the return journey. The flat surface and suitability for families with children are explicitly mentioned in the description of the first route. For the loop, the distance and return journey are the specific points to consider. This lets you decide in advance which description better suits your planned outing.

Getting there and finding a hotel

No services provided by České dráhy are available at Pernek-Hory station, and no České dráhy trains stop there. Check the station’s current status before your trip if it is important for your journey.

A route along the water with a connection toward Nová Pec and a loop with a ferry ride back place different emphasis on your travel plans. Search for hotels in Hory and choose one based on your own accommodation requirements.
