Podyjí National Park

The park extends along the deep valley of the Dyje River, featuring steep slopes, dense forests, and diverse geological formations spanning 63 square kilometers.

The protected area, established as a national park in 1991, contains archaeological evidence of human settlements dating back to prehistoric agricultural communities.

Medieval castles and traditional settlements within the park boundaries reflect centuries of human presence and regional architectural development in South Moravia.

Visitors can access multiple information centers throughout the park, which provide detailed maps and educational materials about local flora and fauna species.

The park forms a cross-border protected area with Austria's Thayatal National Park, creating an international sanctuary for rare bird species and native plants.
