Detailed itinerary

The town is located in the wine-growing region of South Moravia, a few kilometres from Brno, on the border of the Czech Republic and Austria. It is surrounded by vineyards as it is the warmest region in the country. The Wine Salon of the Czech Republic is a permanent tasting exhibition of the best Moravian and Czech wines located in the cellars of Valtice Chateau. The interiors of the castle include 21 rooms furnished in the rococo and baroque styles. There is a sundial on the western and eastern sides of the courtyard. The Baroque Valtice Chateau is the second pearl of the Lednice-Valtice complex, connecting the two chateaux.

The fairytale castle in Lednice is a very popular attraction, as is the park next to it. In the mid-19th century, the castle was completely rebuilt in the Gothic style as we see it today. The surrounding large landscaped park is a great place for walks and relaxation. Smaller buildings such as St John's Castle, the Minaret and the Temple of Diana are scattered throughout. The park links the two castles of Lednice and Valtice. It is also a great place for wine tasting. Moravian wine is renowned for its unique taste and quality. The interior of Lednice Chateau is also impressive. Its interiors include beautifully decorated representative halls, private suites and children's rooms. It also houses the Museum of Puppets. Next to the castle is the Greenhouse, which is also worth a visit.

Mikulov is located on the last hills of Pálava and is surrounded by vineyards. Its dominant feature is the beautiful castle, which stands on a high rock above the town. Its interior now houses the Regional Museum, where you will find the most comprehensive local exhibition of winemaking and wine production, including a unique giant wine barrel. You can also visit the castle library. The town itself has a beautiful historic centre with many restaurants and shops. It is surrounded by three rocky peaks. On the Goat Tower there is an old tower that was used to protect the original castle. Holy Hill is a nature reserve with a romantic pilgrimage chapel of St. Sebastian. There is also the Holy Sepulchre, to which the Stations of the Cross lead. The third dominant feature of the town is the Turold Cave, the oldest nature reserve in the Pálava region.

Kreuzenstein Castle, near Leobendorf, has impressive architecture reminiscent of medieval castles. Interestingly, it was built in the 19th century. The original 12th-century castle was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War and has been in ruins ever since. Its later owner, Count Wilczek, bought parts of medieval buildings from all over Europe to make the castle look authentic. The castle houses a museum and has become a popular film location. The castle can be seen in films such as 1912's The Miracle, 2019's Netflix series The Witcher, and dozens of other films. During the tour you will see the castle kitchen with the table around which the building was built. You will also visit the chapel, the knights' hall and the prince's room with its medieval furniture.
