Culture and History

The Iron Curtain Memorial in Čížov addresses significant historical periods and moments in 20th-century Czech history. The water mill in Slup has four working water wheels and a millrace. The history of milling from prehistoric times to the present day is explained there.

Nature and Landscape

Podyjí lies at the transition between the Hercynian and Pannonian biogeographical regions. Its landscapes include extensive oak-hornbeam forests, ravine forests and thermophilous oak forests. Podyjí National Park lies on the Austrian border, where it adjoins Thayatal National Park. It preserves an exceptionally well-preserved river valley in a richly wooded landscape. In Podyjí, the Dyje River meanders past rocks, vineyards, flower-rich meadows and sunny orchards.

Marked hiking trails in Podyjí offer opportunities to observe rare plants and animals. Walks may include observing rare butterflies at the Fládnitzké Moor and bats at the ruins of Nový Hradek. The nature trails in Podyjí also include the ascent to Vraní skála. There are more than 20 viewpoints in total, including Sealsfieldův kámen above a bend in the river.

Wine

The Znojemská Wine Trail is 189 kilometres long and connects 55 wine-producing villages. It includes the Malovaný sklep in Šatov, as well as military-historical sites such as Bunkr Na Hrázi and the MJ–S 3 Zahrada bunker. The Malovaný sklep contains relief-like fantasy paintings by local artist Maxmillian Appeltauer.

Šobes Vineyard lies in a bend of the Dyje River within Podyjí and offers seasonal wine tastings. In Vrbovec, the Hroznové kozy educational trail follows an easy circular route through wine traditions and local legends; the route is suitable for families.

For cyclists, the Znojmo–Chvalovice cycle path connects Znojmo with Nový Šaldorf, Vrbovec and Chvalovice. It runs away from a heavily trafficked road towards the Austrian border.

Getting Around

Znojemské podzemí offers atmospheric tours through medieval passages, cellars and shelters beneath the historic centre of Znojmo. One route includes a Jesuit aqueduct, large underground halls, shafts and exhibitions on archaeology and viticulture. Another route leads to a medieval well, original passages carved into the rock and an exhibition on the history of the underground.

Loucký Monastery is the starting point for the Znojemský tourist train, which connects Louka with the historic centre of Znojmo.
