Pálava Unveiled: Our Personal Insider Tips
We know you likely already know Lednice and Mikulov. That’s why at our Residence, we focus on a different experience. We can show you Pálava without the crowds, in total tranquility, and from perspectives that most tourists overlook.
Cycling: Escape into the Vineyards
Forget the main cycling highways that get "congested" during the high season. We will show you how to use the agricultural vineyard service roads and other "forgotten" paths. These offer kilometers of high-quality asphalt with almost no cars and the best views of the Pálava hills and the Nové Mlýny reservoirs.
Hiking: The Green Path Climbs High, the Blue is Quieter
While crowds stream from Pavlov toward Dívčí hrady, we recommend ascending directly from us in Horní Věstonice following the green or blue markers. Expect a proper climb, but your reward will be the Martinka rock formation and breathtaking, silent views of the valley. Just you, the limestone cliffs, and Pálava.
Relaxation: Laa an der Thaya (25 min by car)
Seeking a peaceful wellness experience? Instead of the noisy Aqualand Moravia filled with children, we point you across the border to the Austrian town of Laa an der Thaya. Their Silent Spa section in particular is an oasis of silence that you, as guests of an Adults Only establishment, will appreciate most.
Our "Secret" Sunset Viewpoint
We have one special spot just above the residence. It’s not on the maps, and no tourist markers lead to it. It’s a place nestled among the vineyards where the sun sets directly into the waters of the lake. We will be happy to share the exact coordinates with you once you arrive.
Highlights within Reach:
- Mikulov: History, the Holy Hill (Svatý kopeček), and the Turold Cave.
- Dolní Věstonice & Pavlov: The Archeopark and the site of the prehistoric Venus.
- Lednice (15 km): UNESCO site, perfect for a full-day cycling trip.
