Znojmo - Transfer from Bratislava takes 1.3 hours. The journey begins in Znojmo, a historic gem overlooking the Dyje River, celebrated for its medieval allure, wine heritage, and hidden underground wonders. With its cobblestone streets, fortified walls, and sweeping views of the surrounding vineyards, Znojmo offers a perfect introduction to the serene beauty of South Moravia.

This is more than just a sightseeing stop—it’s a walk through layers of history, legends, and vibrant culture. Whether you’re interested in castles, wine, or forgotten tales, Znojmo sets the stage for a day full of local discoveries.

Stropešínská vyhlídka - Transfer from Znojmo takes 40 minutes. The next stop offers a breath of fresh air—literally—as you visit the hidden gem of Stropěšínska vyhlídka. This tranquil viewpoint, perched above the winding Jihlava River, provides breathtaking panoramic views of deep valleys, forested hills, and rocky cliffs that most tourists never see. It’s a place locals visit for peace and reflection—and now, so will you. A short walk leads to the lookout, where the driver will share the legend of the landscape and perhaps a favorite local picnic story. It’s a quiet, scenic pause in the journey—a moment to breathe, connect with nature, and take photos that capture the essence of the Czech countryside.
-
Trebic - Transfer takes 20 minutes. The journey continues to Třebíč, a town where Christian and Jewish heritage coexist in remarkable harmony. On a leisurely walk through the historic Old Town, you’ll visit the peaceful grounds of the UNESCO-listed St. Procopius Basilica and the Benedictine monastery complex—without entering, but close enough to appreciate their grandeur and atmosphere. The local driver will share stories of medieval monks, architectural marvels, and the town’s unique cultural legacy. As you stroll through cobbled streets and quiet courtyards, you’ll feel the spiritual depth of a place where two faiths thrived side by side. This stop is a beautiful blend of history, tranquility, and cultural richness—far from the usual tourist rush.
-
Zamek Jaromerice Nad Rokytnou - Transfer takes 15 minutes. The journey continues to the magnificent chateau of Jaroměřice nad Rokytou, often referred to as the “Moravian Versailles.” With its grand yellow Baroque façade, expansive gardens, and riverside setting, this lesser-known palace feels like stepping into an 18th-century opera. Even from the outside, the architecture and setting leave a powerful impression. The driver will guide you around the grounds, sharing stories of aristocratic life, music, and the cultural ambition that made this chateau a true jewel of its time. As you stroll past fountains, courtyards, and the adjacent church, you’ll experience one of South Moravia’s most photogenic and romantic corners—still untouched by mass tourism.
-
Telc - 40 minutes transfer. Next, arrive in Telč—a town so picturesque it feels like a painting come to life. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is renowned for its perfectly preserved Renaissance and Baroque square, lined with colorful arcaded houses that reflect beautifully in the surrounding fishponds. You’ll take a leisurely walk through the Old Town, soaking in the quiet beauty of this architectural gem. The local driver will share stories of noble families, medieval fires, and how Telč became one of the most photographed towns in the country. No crowds, no rush—just time to wander, take photos, and enjoy the magical calm of a place that truly feels frozen in time.

Rostejn Castle - Transfer takes 15 minutes. For those who wish to add a touch of medieval mystery to the day, an optional stop at Roštejn Castle is offered—a hidden gem nestled in the forests of the Vysočina region. This 14th-century Gothic hunting lodge, perched on a rocky hill, is full of charm and legends. Surrounded by nature and offering sweeping views, it’s a peaceful detour into the past. If the group chooses this option, the driver will guide you through the castle’s history from the outside and share tales of noble hunts, lost treasures, and life in the medieval court. Guests can choose one optional stop—either Roštejn Castle or Vranov nad Dyjí, depending on interest and time.
-
Zamek Vranov Nad Dyji - Alternatively, the group may choose to visit Vranov nad Dyjí Castle, one of the most spectacularly located castles in the Czech Republic. Perched high above the Dyje River and surrounded by the lush forests of the Podyjí National Park, this Baroque jewel offers breathtaking views and a romantic atmosphere. The driver will guide you to the castle grounds, where you’ll admire its dramatic silhouette and learn about the noble Althann family who once called it home. With its unique location and storybook charm, Vranov is perfect for those drawn to scenic beauty and aristocratic history. You can choose one optional stop—either Vranov nad Dyjí or Roštejn Castle—based on the group’s interest.
-
Bratislava - Transfer back to your location. Staying in the Czech Republic or being dropped somewhere else on the road is an option too. From Zamek Vranov nad Dyji, it is 1 hour and 40 minutes to return to Vienna. Without an optional stop straight from Telč, it is 2 hours and 30 minutes.
