Lipno Reservoir, Artificial reservoir in Šumava region, Czech Republic

The Lipno Reservoir extends 42 kilometers along the Vltava River, reaching depths of 25 meters with a surface area of 48 square kilometers.

Construction of the reservoir began in 1952 and concluded in 1960, creating a solution for regional flood control and hydroelectric power generation.

The reservoir banks feature multiple recreational facilities where visitors participate in water sports, sailing, and swimming during summer months.

Two turbines in the Lipno Hydroelectric Plant generate 128 megawatts of power while managing water levels through an underground system.

The reservoir connects to a smaller water body, Lipno II, through an artificial underground waterway that helps regulate water distribution.
