Podivín: Hotels and Accommodation

The Jewish cemetery in Podivín was established in the second half of the 17th century. Its cemetery gate is a national cultural monument of the Czech Republic. The oriental-romantic ceremonial hall has a dome topped with a lantern.

The gate grille at the Jewish cemetery in Podivín is a hand-forged iron grille from the 16th century. It originally adorned the entrance to the Liechtensteins’ former castle theatre in Lednice, which no longer exists. Through its perspective design, the cemetery gate creates the optical impression of an endless space.

Construction of the Church of St. Peter and Paul in Podivín dates back to the first half of the 13th century. Together with the adjoining rectory and the Baroque statue of St. Thecla, the church is listed in the Register of Immovable Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic. It features an unusual Neo-Gothic design and is visible from the surrounding area.

Janův hrad lies amid floodplain forests on a promontory of the Stará Dyje. The artificial castle ruin was built between 1807 and 1810 based on a design by Josef Hardtmuth. Janův hrad is open to the public both outside and inside.

The Podivínské hody festival in honour of St. Peter and Paul has been held regularly on 29 June since 1976, opening the series of hody festivals in Podluží. Its programme includes ceremonial processions and hody festivities.

The easy hiking route “From Train to Train – From Podivín to Ladná” begins at Podivín railway station and ends after just over seven kilometres at a railway stop.
