Mandloňové sady v Hustopečích, sady v okrese Břeclav
The almond groves in Hustopeče are an orchard with hundreds of almond trees primarily visited for their spring blossoms. The trees are planted along pathways that allow easy walking, and there is also a viewing tower offering views of the surrounding countryside.
Almond cultivation in Hustopeče dates back to the 17th century and was long a significant economic activity for the region. After declining in the 1990s, the groves were revitalized through European funding programs and replanting efforts.
The almond groves are deeply connected to local spring traditions and mark the beginning of warmer weather in the community. The blooming trees serve as a visual symbol of seasonal change that residents and visitors anticipate each year.
The best time to visit is spring when trees are in full bloom, typically March through April. You can drive to marked parking areas, walk from the city center, or use cycling paths that lead directly to the groves.
The viewing tower near the groves offers views that on clear days stretch to the distant Alps. The volume of spring visitors is so significant that the town maintains a special spring festival calendar dedicated to this season.
