Znojmo

Znojmo is a district in South Moravia near the Austrian border that stretches across hilly terrain with river valleys and agricultural land. The landscape alternates between gentle vineyard slopes, small settlements and open fields crossed by regional roads.

The present administrative boundaries emerged in 1960 during a nationwide restructuring of districts in Czechoslovakia. This reform merged several smaller municipalities into larger units and still shapes the spatial organization today.

The area has been known for centuries for its vineyards and in many villages winemakers open their cellars for tastings. Visitors encounter small cellar lanes where the wine tradition shows itself in the daily life of the inhabitants.

The administrative center lies on well-developed roads that allow connections to Brno and other parts of the country. For travelers through the area, several smaller towns offer local facilities and accommodation options.

Below the town of Znojmo stretches a sprawling system of medieval catacombs with defensive installations and ventilation shafts. These underground passages are among the longest in Central Europe and are partially accessible for guided tours.
