From Horní Planá, you will head straight up the hill. Once you catch your breath, turn around – you'll be rewarded with an iconic view of Lipno from above! Then you will leave the water behind and run onto quiet paths between pastures, where the loudest fan zone will be provided by curious cows behind the fence.

The finish line awaits you in Černá v Pošumaví. The village got its name from the black heaps under the mining towers of numerous graphite mines. The quality of the local graphite, which was used, among other things, to make the famous Koh-i-noor pencils, was legendary. You won't meet any miners here today, but this picturesque pastoral section is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression in your legs and memories!
