In Lupenice, a clearly identified waterway and a specific sporting event come together: the Štědrý potok rises here, and Volejbalová Lupenice takes place at the Sportovní areál. When planning your trip, it is therefore worth asking whether you are planning a stay around the volleyball tournament or would rather get to know Lupenice through its geographical features. A traditional June event and a local pub add two more perspectives.

Stream and protected groundwater

The Štědrý potok rises in Lupenice and is a left-bank tributary of the Bělá. Its source and connection to the Bělá offer two distinct geographical points of reference. Lupenice also lies within the Východočeská křída protected natural groundwater recharge area. This protection status adds a second hydrological perspective to the stream. Visitors who like to understand places through their waterways and groundwater will find specific local connections here, alongside the event-related attractions.

Volleyball at the Sportovní areál

The Sportovní areál Lupenice is the venue for Volejbalová Lupenice; the first tournament was held in 1962. The sports complex has eight volleyball courts, although the number may change due to alterations. It also has facilities for social and sporting events. During the tournament, free tent pitches, sanitary facilities open around the clock, and places to buy hot and cold food and drinks are available at the complex. These services are available for the duration of the tournament and may vary from one edition to another. If you are travelling to Lupenice for the tournament, check the date and arrangements for that particular edition before finalising your travel dates. This will help you match the tournament-specific services to your own travel plans rather than assume they are generally available in the area.

June event and a place to eat

Lupenická lávka is a traditional June event held at the local fire-water reservoir. Before travelling in June, check whether and when it is taking place that year. The events have different venues: Volejbalová Lupenice takes place at the Sportovní areál, while Lupenická lávka is held at the fire-water reservoir.

For generations, Lupenická Hospoda has maintained its reputation as a place to meet for good food and drink. If you plan to eat there, bear in mind that opening hours and offerings may change; check in advance whether it will be open at your preferred time.

Choose your accommodation based on the reason for your trip

For Volejbalová Lupenice and Lupenická lávka, the respective dates determine whether the event fits your travel plans. By contrast, the stream’s source and the protected groundwater recharge area highlight Lupenice’s geographical setting. Look for a holiday apartment that suits your set travel dates and the reason for your trip that matters most to you. That way, you can plan your stay around a specific event or the area’s water-related features.
