At the southern end of the Pálava ridge, just a short distance from the border with Austria, we find the picturesque town of Mikulov. We dominate a beautiful castle standing on a rocky promontory. Other attractions of the city include the picturesque square, the Dietrichstein Tomb, the Goat Castle and the adjacent Holy Hill
