Lake Lipno is a large alpine lake situated on the Austria-Czech border in the Bohemian Forest region. The visible shoreline shows residential development concentrated on the upper peninsula with extensive forest coverage along much of the eastern shore. The water body displays algae blooms or mineral discoloration typical of deep alpine lakes. The northern-facing coastline provides limited wind exposure due to surrounding forest and elevation, reflected in the very low wind reliability data. Average wind speeds of 5 knots are marginal for kitesurfing, presenting significant challenges. The spot is primarily suitable for beginners during occasional windy periods, with sheltered conditions predominating. Access points are constrained by residential development and protected areas. Water temperature remains cold year-round (averaging 8.8°C), requiring thermal protection. The shallow areas near shore and potential vegetation present navigation hazards. Best conditions occur with northeast winds providing side-shore flow, though such conditions are infrequent. This location is better suited to alternate water sports than consistent kitesurfing.
