Vranov nad Dyjí Chateau
≈ 20 km — ≈ 30 min by car
A Baroque chateau perched on a rock above the river — the image on every second postcard from the Dyje valley, and still it works every time. Guided routes lead through the state interiors, and the Vranov reservoir begins directly below the cliff. Best combined into a single day.
Chateau tours normally run from April to October.

The Vranov reservoir
≈ 20 km — ≈ 30 min by car
A sandy beach, boat hire and pleasure cruises that carry visitors beneath the chateau rock — the Vranov reservoir is the summer release valve for the whole Znojmo region. Swim in the morning, cruise in the afternoon, the chateau above it all. The water warms up earlier here than elsewhere in Moravia.
Pleasure cruises run roughly from May to September; the beach operates in the summer season.

Bítov Castle
≈ 30 km — ≈ 40 min by car
One of the oldest castles in Moravia stands on a spur the reservoir wraps around on three sides. Romantically remodelled interiors, long curtain walls, and below them a bay where boats moor in summer. Only a short way upstream from Vranov.
The castle is usually open roughly from April to October.

Tips for trips
We recommend the romantic ruins of Nový Hrádek near Lukov, the castles of Bítov and Vranov nad Dyjí, the Havraníky heath with a bottle of local wine, and the extensive network of cycling routes along the Dyje. We will gladly suggest the best of the season.
