Lipná (until 1948 Lindov; German: Lindau) is a village and municipal part of Hazlov in Cheb District in the Karlovy Vary Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 20 inhabitants.

Etymology

The initial German name Lindau and the Czech name Lindov were derived from the High German words linde ('linden') and ouwe ('water', 'stream', 'wet meadow').[2] The modern name Lipná is derived from the word lípa, which also means 'linden'.
