Znojmo

The Znojmo district is an administrative area in South Moravia spanning 76 municipalities near the Austrian border in southern Czech Republic. The area includes a range of settlements from larger towns to small villages distributed across the territory.

The area functioned as a border region between kingdoms for centuries, shaping its long development and importance. Its current administrative structure took its present form following major reforms in the early 2000s.

The towns and villages across the district hold strong connections to Moravian heritage, with local festivals and customs shaping daily life in smaller communities. These traditions remain visible in how residents gather and celebrate throughout the year.

The district is easiest to explore by car since a network of roads connects the various municipalities throughout the area. The larger city of Znojmo serves as a natural base with lodging and dining options for visitors.

The district contains Podyjí National Park, where canyon landscapes and river bends formed by the Thaya River display unusual geological character. This natural border area remains one of the most valued places in the entire region.
