Where to swim

Around Lipnice you will find several natural places to swim. The Kamenice offers quiet pools of clear water surrounded by rock faces. Also popular are the swimming area in Kyjov with its natural biotope and swimming in the Elbe near Děčín.

Tips for families

For families with children we recommend the swimming pool in Česká Kamenice or the natural swimming area in Kyjov. Both have a gently sloping entry into the water and are safe for smaller children. On hot days, wading in the shallow stretches of the Kamenice is a pleasure too.
