Břeclav District

Břeclav District is an administrative area in the South Moravian Region spanning over 1,000 square kilometers of lowlands and rolling terrain. The district borders Austria to the south and Slovakia to the southeast, with the Morava and Thaya rivers running through its landscape.

The area was settled as early as the 6th century when Slavic tribes established communities along the Morava and Thaya rivers. Later it became the center of noble domains where families built grand castles and gardens that survive to this day.

The district preserves the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape, a mosaic of castles, gardens, and historic buildings that reflects how the nobility lived in past eras. These sites show how wealthy families adorned their estates with artworks and carefully designed parks.

The D2 motorway links the district to Brno and Slovakia, while multiple railway lines serve Vienna, Bratislava, and Prague. Spring and autumn are the best seasons to explore the area, offering comfortable weather and fewer crowds at the main sites.

The area contains the Děvín peak rising to 550 meters, standing amid extensive vineyards that blanket the landscape. This region ranks among the warmest parts of the Czech Republic and produces wines of notable quality.
