Where to go on a trip to South Moravia
South Moravia is the dream of every lover of wine and relaxed tourism. Picturesque hiking trails wind through the vineyards and in front of your eyes you have beautiful limestone Pálavské hills. Let's see what you can do here for beautiful trips, both on foot and by bike
Pavlovské vrchy
Spring walk a little different
Pavlovské vrchy form an elongated ridge between Pavlov and Mikulov and are the most conspicuous part of the Pálava Protected Landscape Area. White Jurassic limestones form attractive rock cliffs in some places. The area is frequently visited by tourists. However, it is possible to find places that are beautiful and much quieter. This is a movement partly on unmarked trails, so the trip cannot be recommended to families with children and those who do not have the necessary security of movement in open terrain. continue reading

Bike trip to NP Podyjí
By bike to Podyjí
Podyjí National Park has been the only Moravian national park since 1991 and, with its area, the smallest NP in the Czech Republic. On the Lower Austrian side, it is followed by the Thayatal National Park. Its total area is 63 km2. The highest point has an altitude of 536 m above sea level. The lowest point is 207 m above sea level. The park is forested 84%, in addition to common forest stands, there are many rare trees and especially the endemic hardegg crane. Podyjí owes its preservation mainly to the terrain and location on the borders and also to the existence of the border zone in the 50s-80s. years. Similar valleys were destroyed, for example, by the construction of dams or cottage buildings. continue reading

Janičův vrch quarry and Svatý kopeček
Interesting places near Mikulov
If you often travel to the south of Europe or to the Alps and set off from the eastern part of the republic, passing through this city is usually inevitable. However, the road is led only by its edge, so you will stop here at the maximum Czech gas station. However, if you want to diversify your way south and have the opportunity, I recommend spending the night here, because watching the sunset from the Holy Hill is much more fun than driving on the highway. continue reading
A small forest to Pouzdřany
Walk through the floodplain forest
The area lies in the Dyjsko-svratecká floodplain, south of the village Vranovice, in the area between the rivers Svratka and Šatava. Šatava is a Moravian river that springs near Ivančice near the village of Hlína and then flows southeast. The nature reserve on the lower course of the Šatava hides a well-preserved complex of floodplain forest with an original wood composition, with a number of wetlands and ponds around a meandering river. continue reading

Bobrava Valley
Attractive valley within reach of Brno
The deep forested valley of Bobrava, through which flows the meandering river of the same name, was declared a nature park in 1982. It is characterized by long floodplain meadows (some are over a kilometer long). Bobrava is a right-hand tributary of the river Svratka. It springs in the forests west of Domašov. The path through the valley is especially attractive if we leave the marked path from time to time and set out on a tangle of colorful vegetation along a meandering stream. continue reading
