The town of Vimperk lies in the heart of the Šumava Mountains (Bohemian Forest), on the main road about 20 km from the German border at Strážný. The Hotel VLTAVA with its well known cuisine is an ideal place for your first or last stop on your journey to (or from) Germany, Austria, France and other countries south-west of our border. Why not stop to have a meal or to spend night?

Vimperk lies on the intersection of several marked tourist trails for hikers, bikers and skiers, leading through beautiful parts of the Šumava National Park. The Park has the best preserved nature in Central Europe. Nearby lies the Bavarian Forest National Park. In the surroundings of the town there are ideal conditions for skiing both for beginners and for more experienced skiers at an intermediate level. You can also rent a mountain bike or skis at the hotel.

It is possible to hire the skating rink at the winter stadium in Vimperk at a very reasonable price. Tennis courts and an open air swimming pool are within walking distance (about 10 min) from the hotel.

Nearby there are historical towns, castles, mansions and museums such as Hluboká, Český Krumlov and Kratochvíle.
