The garden of Europe: the Lednice-Valtice area

50 km from Brno, near the road to Bratislava, is the Lednice-Valtice area. So, quite formally, called one of the major Palace-and-Park ensembles of Europe. However, he also had more poetic names — “Garden of Europe”, “garden of Eden”…

In the Czech Republic visited tourist destination of the Lednice-Valtice areal is second only to Prague Castle and the Czech Krumlova. The ensemble is impressive. For comparison: the area of arboretum “Sofiivka” — about 2 square kilometers, the Park in Kachanivka — 6. And the Park area between the towns of Lednice and Valtice — a 250 sq km! To facilitate tourists getting to the Park, they carry on the range with horse-drawn carriages and canals on boats.

Today the Lednice-Valtice Park — well maintained forest, which houses two palaces, and scattering all sorts of smaller buildings of different architectural styles. One of the most popular — the present minaret. However, it was never used for its intended purpose, that is to call Moslems to prayer.

The channel name of a good cobbler

The Czech Republic offers the most different options of walking on water. Best known for short trips to teplohodike on the Vltava in Prague. In the old town of Cesky Krumlov can ride on a special wooden raft on the rough river directly between the houses of the XVII century can Still take a tour of the underground river Punkva and the channels of the Lednice-Valtice area.

However, the Czechs themselves have a very popular boat ride along the man-made canal length of about 60 km between the towns of kroměříž and hodonín. In the 30-ies of XX century it was dug at the direction of the famous social experiments of the Czech “king of shoes” tomáš baťa. After 20 years the canal with 13 gateways and fifty bridges lost its importance as a transport artery. But frugal Czechs turned it into an industrial monument, and today, foreign tourists and residents come here for leisurely riding teplohodike.

Slavkov: commemoration of the battle

The name of the settlement Slavkov u Brna for most of us, nothing says. But if you know his old name from the times of Austria-Hungary, then remember “War and peace” Pierre Bezukhov and “the sky of Austerlitz”. Yes, in the vicinity of this town in 1805, was one of the key battles of the Napoleonic wars. It is also called “battle of the three emperors”, and in Czech it sounds to our ear at all funny — “Slavkovska boiste”. In memory of the 40 thousand people who died here in the beginning of XX century, a monument to the “Tomb world” — four-sided pyramid with a height of 26 m, is crowned with a ten-copper cross resting on a globe. Near the monument is a small Museum with interactive exhibits.

The punkva: by boat through the cave

There are many places where tourists ride on boats on the underground river: you can recall the Park “Sofiyivka” in Uman. But there is a man-made river Acheron short (211 m), and looks like just a tunnel. And in the mountains of southern Moravia, the length of the route — almost a kilometer. Where the water of the river Punkva goes under the rock, equipped with dock, and it constantly falls off spacious punt, powered by a silent motor. In some places (especially when the water in Punque high) need to get my head down — so low hanging arch.
