Wine tourism

Moravia is criss-crossed by more than 1,200 kilometres of marked trails known as Moravian wine trails. If you encounter a sign showing the symbol of wine trains, i.e. a cellar silhouette, it means you are on the right path. The trails zigzag through the vineyard countryside, they lead to lookout points, they pass through narrow streets with cellars alongside them, and they connect famous wine villages. You will get to know the Moravian countryside during your trip, particularly as picturesque land with unique landmarks and superb wine. These trails usually use small roads with little traffic, sometimes along country of forest roads. You can ride either mountain bikes or normal road bikes.
