Lupenice: Volleyball and Water

Lupenice combines a clear connection to water with Volejbalová Lupenice, whose first tournament was held in 1962. The town can therefore be explored from different perspectives: through its stream and groundwater area, or through its sporting activities. A traditional June event and the Lupenická Hospoda add seasonal and culinary reasons to visit. Which of these matters for your trip can also help you plan your accommodation.

Water and the character of the town

The Štědrý potok rises in Lupenice and is a left-bank tributary of the Bělá. Its classification as a left-bank tributary describes its hydrological connection to the Bělá, while the stream’s source is directly associated with Lupenice. Lupenice also lies within the Východočeská křída protected natural groundwater recharge area. This brings together two distinct connections to water: a stream that rises in the town and an area where natural groundwater recharge is protected. For travelers interested in waterways or landscapes, this offers a specific focus that is not tied to the volleyball tournament.

Volleyball and the event

Volejbalová Lupenice takes place at the Sportovní areál Lupenice. The first tournament was held in 1962. The sports complex has eight volleyball courts as well as facilities for social and sporting events. This places the event and sports venue in context: the first tournament is part of the competition’s history, while the courts and event facilities describe the complex. The number of volleyball courts may change due to renovations. If it is important for your plans, confirm the current situation before your visit.

During the tournament, free tent pitches, sanitary facilities open around the clock, and outlets selling hot and cold food and drinks are available at the Sportovní areál Lupenice. These services are available for the duration of the tournament and may vary with each edition. If you are traveling for the event, plan around the specific edition. The tent pitches and outlets are part of the tournament offering and are not services available year-round.

June event and local pub

Lupenická lávka is a traditional June event held at the local fire-water reservoir. If you would like to include the event in your trip, check the date locally in advance for the relevant year.

For generations, the Lupenická Hospoda has maintained its reputation as a place to enjoy good food and drink. It adds a culinary accent alongside the town’s connections to water and sport. If you plan to visit, check the current opening hours and offerings, as these may change.

Choose when to travel and where to stay

A stay for Volejbalová Lupenice depends on the specific tournament edition; the connections to water and the Lupenická Hospoda offer different points of interest beyond the event. If you are looking for a hotel in Lupenice, base your choice on your travel dates and interests, and compare options for your specific dates. For a trip to the tournament, event services are available for a limited time; for other reasons for traveling, do not assume they are generally available.
