Hodonín District: Hotels and accommodations

Anyone wishing to book a hotel in Hodonín District can then continue searching for accommodation. The Strážnice Open-Air Museum contains more than 60 structures across 16 hectares, including examples of folk architecture, crafts and traditional agriculture, as well as exhibits on the history of viticulture. This cultural focus is directly relevant for travelers interested in these topics.

Culture and history

The Muzeum ve Vagónu in Ratíškovice presents the history of lignite mining and the railway system in Hodonín District in a historic railway carriage. The State Chateau Milotice offers around 190 costumes from the Baroque, Rococo and Romantic periods for rent. The cultural expressions associated with the Hodonínsko region include folk songs, traditional costumes, dances and traditional crafts. Festivals associated with the area include carnival, welcoming spring, ceremonies to open the vineyards, village festivals and wine harvest festivals.

The archaeological site of Mikulčice preserves an approximately 10-hectare early medieval settlement and includes an archaeological exhibition. Thus, alongside living traditions, a testimony to the area's early history is also a central focus.

Nature and landscape

The Čertoryje National Nature Reserve protects typical meadows and meadow steppes of the White Carpathians with thermophilic plant and animal communities. Váté Písky presents a different landscape: the area consists of a belt of sand dunes and aeolian deposits several kilometers long beside the railway and is home to thermophilic insects and rare plants. Because of strong winds, loose sand is moved into dunes there; Váté Písky is therefore also locally known as the Moravian Sahara.

Hodonínská Dúbrava is a protected sandy forest and steppe habitat where rare and endangered plant species occur. The Hodonínsko area is characterized by vineyards and floodplain forests.

Trails and orientation

The cycling trail along the Baťa Canal is more than 80 kilometers long and passes through Strážnice, Petrov, Sudoměřice, Rohatec and Hodonín. Marked Moravian wine trails and the Baťa Canal connect Hodonínsko with other microregions. The Lávka Velké Moravy connects the Czech and Slovak parts of the archaeological park in Mikulčice.

Dům přírody Hodonín is a visitor center in the Bažantnice area near Hodonín Zoo and the Hodonínská Dúbrava national nature monument. From Náklo Hill, there are views of the Chřiby and White Carpathian mountain ranges; the hill can be reached via paved cycling paths from Ratíškovice, Vacenovice and Milotice. The Váté Písky educational trail is 4.5 kilometers long and classified as easy. It therefore corresponds to an interest in a short hike classified as easy.

Regional highlights

The Podluží Wine Trail offers encounters with local winemakers and examples of the traditional architecture of wine cellars. Dry, sweet, white, red and rosé wines are associated with the Hodonín area. Sweet, juicy fruit from local orchards is likewise a regional feature.

The Muzeum ve Vagónu also rents pedal-powered rail cars for a three-kilometer ride around Ratíškovice. Hodonín Zoo covers just under six hectares and displays nearly 400 animals from 100 species. Lázně Hodonín uses iodine-bromine mineral water as its main natural resource.
