If you enjoy hiking, you can try climbing the steep slopes of the Pálava and inspect the Lednice-Valtice Complex from a bird’s-eye view. And while you’re at it, you can inspect the sunlit South-Moravian vineyards, the beautiful town of Mikulov with its Holy Hill or the striking viewing tower in Lednice Castle park. And since this is a region of wine, don’t forget to drop in a local wine store – it would be pity not to taste the best that this region has to offer.
