Němčičky Communal Wine Trail

The thematic nature trail introduces visitors to the history of the area below P&aacute;lava, a region rich in millennia-old wine traditions. The 20-kilometre route of the Mikulov Educational Wine Trail can be completed on foot, by bicycle or by car. The route is marked and equipped with 17 information panels.

<h2>Characteristics of the trail</h2>
The starting point of the trail is the parking lot at Komerčn&iacute; banka just below Mikulov Square, where the first panel with introductory information is located. From there you go through the town centre to the Church Square, where information about the Mikulov wine region is available. Here you can take a detour to the castle and its cellars, which contain one of the largest historic barrels in Europe (101,000 litres).

Then the route leads you out of the town towards the wine-growing villages lying directly below the P&aacute;lava River. Before you drive down to Bavaria, you will learn about the ecology of the vineyard and the possibilities for its biological protection. In Bavaria, the panel will introduce you to the history of this wine-growing community. From Bavaria, you will continue along a field road to Pern&aacute;, the seat of a famous wine-breeding station. This is also the birthplace of the successful cultivars of P&aacute;lava and Aurelius that enrich the varied varietal offer of the vineyards in the region below P&aacute;lava. In the village and its surroundings you will find several panels on the history of the village, mining law and the breeding of varieties. There is also a mention about phylloxera.

The journey continues on through Horn&iacute; Věstonice (a panel about the history of the village) to the more famous Doln&iacute;, the site of the discovery of the world-famous Venus of Věstonice. Here you will find not only an archaeological exhibition but also a panel with a map of the nature trail and information about the history of this wine-growing village. An interesting chapter was written at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries by the Habans - the New Christians who raised the level of a number of fields, including winemaking. In the village, the Haban cellars are still preserved. From Věstonice the route continues to Pavlov. The wealth of architectural monuments makes Pavlov one of the best preserved wine-growing villages and a unique conservation area. The historic cellar houses in Česk&aacute; Street are especially worth seeing, but you should not miss the municipal wine shop. As you will learn from the information panel, there are also organic grape and certified organic wine producers in Pavlov.
The last part of the wine trail leads through the forest from Pavlov along the road to Klentnice, situated under the ruins of the Orphan's Castle. The last, seventeenth map board is located at the crossroads to Pern&aacute;, completing the set of information panels.

Mikulov Educational Wine Trail

What exactly do we mean by the term &ldquo;Andr&eacute;&rdquo;? Lovers of good wine already know that Andr&eacute; is a renowned grape variety giving wines with a dark, garnet hue, whose depth and roundness remind us of wines from southern climes, but is cultivated in the vineyards of southern Moravia. Check it out for yourself in practice. An entire nineteen kilometres of perfectly prepared wine trail has been prepared in southern Moravia which will lay out the land of Andr&eacute; for you.

<h2>There are two possibilities of undertaking this cycle trail:</h2>
<ul>
 <li>Variation I. HUSTOPEČE &gt; STAROVIČKY &gt; VELK&Eacute; PAVLOVICE &gt; BOŘETICE &gt; VRBICE (Staring point in Hustopeče &ndash; at the Autocamping Formanka, &Scaron;afař&iacute;kova street)</li>
 <li>Variation II. VRBICE &gt; BOŘETICE &gt; VELK&Eacute; PAVLOVICE &gt; STAROVIČKY &gt; HUSTOPEČE (Starting point in Vrbice - the outdoor seating by the old press on the summit of the Str&aacute;ž hill, below the church located near the row of wine cellars)</li>
</ul>

<h2>The charms of Andr&eacute; country</h2>
The starting point is Hustopeče, whence according to the signpost you will set out in the direction of Starovičky. Here it will surely be well worth seeing the lookout tower above the village, from where you will have a beautiful view over the heights of Pavlov and the Nov&eacute; Ml&yacute;ny reservoir. Further on you will arrive directly at the cradle of the Andr&eacute; variety &ndash; in Velk&eacute; Pavlovice. Did you know that the first-ever seedling grew precisely here in the Vine Research Institute and the grape was named after Christian Karl Andr&eacute; who, at the turn of eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, founded the very first association in the world for breeding fruit in Brno?

</blockquote>
The town is also the stage for a grand variety of vinous events all year round which are always rounded off with wonderful wine tastings. On the way to Bořetice you can admire the surrounding vineyards. Among the dominant features in Bořetice is the baroque church of Saint Anne and naturally enough there is a host of typical cellars. The cycle trail terminates a couple of kilometres further on in Vrbice. The local vineyards are considered to be among the best when we refer to red wine production. Apart from the Neo-Romanesque Church of Saint Giles, it is worth taking a look at adjacent hill called Str&aacute;ž, upon which some unique wine cellars have been built. These cellars are constructed from ancient corridors and shelters and in the bowels of the hill they form together up to seven storeys.
One splendid chance to visit here is on 28th June when the wine event with the apt name of Expedition Through Andr&eacute; Country takes place. Your journey on the cycle trail will be all the more pleasant on this day due to the rich accompanying programme of events.
