South Moravia
A region in the very South of the Czech Republic, bordering Austria and Slovakia, with rich history, gorgeous nature, enchanting sights, superb Moravian wines and living folk traditions.
A region that may rightly take pride in a number of castles, manor houses, and other sights, some of which are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This includes the Lednice and Valtice area, magnificent romantic landscape with a number of small structures situated between two chateaux. Another sight on the list is the Tugendhat Villa in Brno, a modem movement structure dating back to the first half of the 20th century. UNESCO World Heritage List also includes two biosphere reserves, Dolní Morava (Lower Moravia) and Bílé Karpaty (White Carpathians). The tour of the National Park of Podyjí with countless meanders and rocky slopes covered with forests, or the Moravian Karst with its underground passages, the Machocha abyss and the underground river Punkva is no less interesting. Not far from Brno, there is the famous battleground of Austerlitz, the setting of the battle of three emperors, and also the baroque chateau Slavkov (better known in Europe under its German name Austerlitz). In Mikulčice, you can see a large and unique Slavic settlement, well preserved, covering an area of 10 hectares. At present, it is proposed that this cultural heritage be inscribed on the World Heritage List.
If you come to South Moravia, you will certainly visit Brno, the second largest town in the Czech Republic. St. Peter and Paul's Cathedral dominates the town where you can also find the above mentioned Tugendhat Villa or the Spielberg Castle towering above the city centre. The historical centre houses a number of significant cultural institutions, theatres, picture galleries and universities. The Masaryk Ring attracts crowds with the motorcycle and car races that are part of the world championship, including the prestigious Czech Grand Prix of road motorcycles. Brno is also famous as a town of fairs and exhibitions. The fair ground is considered to be one of the smartest exhibition grounds in Europe. South Moravia is widely known among wine lovers. The region enjoys the same reputation as for instance Champagne in France. South Moravian viticulture belongs to the oldest in Europe; grapevine has been cultivated here since the Celtic times. These days, more than 96% of all vineyards are situated here. Vast wine growing areas are typical of the region, as well as unique folk costumes and living folk traditions and, last but not least, marvellous home made food. Visitors are attracted by vineyards, narrow roads lined with wine cellars, wine exhibitions, shows, fairs, and grape harvest. The region is also the home of another UNESCO cultural heritage. This one is intangible, however, it is unique to the area: it is the verbuňk, a folk dance typical of the male population in the region of Slovácko, originally the dance of army recruits.
Which place is the best to taste wine? Visit a characteristic wine cellar where you can listen to folk music band playing the traditional cimbalom.
