District (1.5 hours by car to Breclav).
Check into hotel in Mikulov, Lednice or
Valtice.
Overnight in Mikulov. |

Day 2 |
Lednice-Valtice area
You find yourself in the midst of the former
Liechtenstein family estate, marked by a
Baroque chateau in Valtice and a Gothic
Revival chateau in Lednice, connected by
Europe's largest man-made landscape, with
medieval ponds and follies to have picnics
by. The Valtice - Lednice man-made landscape
has been nominated for the UNESCO World
Heritage List. The Jurasic lime-rock Palava
Hills around and in Mikulov offer scenic
walks, bicycle tours, bird watching and

remnants of a bygone Jewish culture.

Day 3 |
Mikulov -
Vranov - Slavonice - Telc
Follow the small country roads through
Znojmo to Vranov (a fairytale-like Baroque
castle); continue through meadows and
forests to Slavonive, a Renaissance jewel
rivaled only by the nearby town of Telc. Its
entire town center has been declared by
UNESCO as a World Heritage Site for its
uniquely preserved arcaded square,
Renaissance chateau, and the medieval ponds
which encircle the historical core.

Enjoy a bike ride, go horseback riding, or

spoiled its medieval charm and the nature
surrounding it. Its fabulous Rozenberg
castle, second in size only to Prague's,
boasts a fairy-tale tower. The original
Baroque theatre, recently renovated, uses
original props, costume replicas, candle
light, and theatre technique of the Baroque
era. Classical music concerts and galleries
(Egon Schiele Art Center) provide ample
opportunity for entertainment.
Overnight in Cesky Krumlov. |
