    Though Znojmo stands on a rock overlooking the River Dyje Canyon, the Znojmo region has always been predominantly agricultural (crops, wine, fruit, vegetables) with only light industry (ceramics, shoes, textile). It has a dry and warm climate, lies in a rather flat area 290 meters above sea level, and has about 100 days each year with an average temperature over 15°C.
    • History

      Znojmo, one of the most important cities in medieval Moravia, was first mentioned in records dated 1046. It was around this time that Prince Břetislav I had a castle built there to serve as a local seat of administration for the Přemyslid dynasty. Znojmo Castle was one of many castles which together served as a defense system along the Austrian border. Czech King Přemysl Otakar I founded the Fortified Royal City of Znojmo between 1224 and 1226 according to Nürnberg laws. Then in 1326 King John of Luxembourg granted Znojmo the privilege of trading wine and forbade the tapping of foreign wines in the town.

      Znojmo became part of the Habsburg Empire in 1526 which diminished its importance. Nevertheless, the city was still able to thrive due to its location on several important roads, including the imperial road between Vienna and Prague. After some time, in the late 19th century, problems between the Czech and German populations in Znojmo began to arise. These problems continued until the Third Reich annexed Znojmo in September 1938. This annexation occurred despite the fact that the majority of residents were Czech. The argument for the Munich Pact decision was based on the census of 1910. In 1938 many Czech citizens had to leave the city. Then, after World War II, the Germans were expelled from Znojmo once it became part of Czechoslovakia in May 1945. From 1948 to 1989 Znojmo suffered under totalitarian communist rule.

    • Orientation

      The center of Znojmo is roughly a circle which can be crossed in 15-20 minutes on foot. It lies just north of the train, coach, and bus stations. You will find the suburbs, quite easily accessible by bus or on foot, to the north and south of the center.

They are also more convenient for families and cyclists. You'll probably have to change trains a few times though.

    The Rotunda of St. Catherine (Rotunda sv. Kateřiny) Built around the year 1037 by the Bohemian Prince Břetislav I as a large parochial church. Apparently in 1134 it was decorated with frescoes representing, besides biblical motives, the legend of the calling of Přemysl the Ploughman to the princely throne, and a picture gallery of the oldest Bohemian princes of the Přemyslide family. Open: April on weekends 09:00-17:00, May-September Tue-Sun 09:00-17:00, according to the climate! Admission 90kč.

    *Dating back to 1100 AD, the original church was burnt to the ground in 1335.

It is very richly decorated with altars, statues, pictures, and features a large organ on its balcony.

    *Built in the 16th Century, this is a truly unique two story chapel in South Moravia. It was built on part of the city walls and features a late Gothic vault. In the lower chapel is an underground circular vault which is situated between St. Wenceslas' and St. Nicholas' churches and is associated with a dispute as the heavy tourist train passes over it daily and is causing distress.

Now you can take part in a 60-minute, one-km guided tour through this maze. Be sure to join a bigger group of foreigners or pick up a leaflet with information in your language from the reception, because tours are mostly conducted in Czech and foreigners have to form a group of at least 10 people to be able to have an English or German guided tour.

    • Podyjí National Park

      If you like hiking, biking, or wine, be sure to visit [wiki=faa958688cbc93272a613f8e1ca10152]Podyjí National Park[/wiki]. The park surrounds the most picturesque part of the Dyje river valley (Thaya in German) stretching from [wiki=2ba3c833eb47e12cc1f43cf817e7b1c5]Vranov nad Dyjí[/wiki] to Znojmo. There are plenty of well-marked hiking and biking trails as well as some excellent view points above the river. For wine lovers, the highlight of this national park is Šobes Vineyard. Šobes Vineyard is the most famous vineyard in the Czech Republic due to its attractive location, age, and exceptional microclimate. You can taste wine on-site at Šobes during the summer months.

    • Vinobraní

      For two days a year Znojmo transforms into a combination of a medieval town (downtown) and a kitschy, loud, and crowded funfair (uptown), all of which is called Vinobraní (Wine-harvest festival). Fortunately, these two are divided by the town walls and gates, so you can choose what you fancy. In the center you can enjoy the parade of people in traditional costumes, the king and queen and their retinue, traditional markets, shows and music, and especially local wine and its young, half-fermented companion - burčák. Fridays are more popular with the younger crowd because you can enjoy the blazing torches, fireworks and concerts at night (check the programme for the times) and indulge in burčák tasting till morning; Saturdays are usually quieter and less crowded. For burčák tasting bring your own glass (it's always better than the plastic ones you can get at every stall) and get 1 dcl (0.1 l) for about 10kč at each stall you like. For wine tasting, check the programme for Znovín Znojmo or Vinné sklepy Lechovice (wineries) and take part in their tasting training, where you sample a dozen of different wines and then try to guess two more blind samples. It's good fun.

      Vinobraní takes place in the middle of September (f.e. 15-16th Sept 2006) and costs 100/120/180kč (Friday/Saturday/both days), 1 l of burčák is about 70kč, taxis double the fare. Usually there are about 30,000 visitors, so book accommodation well ahead if you intend to sleep in Znojmo or around. For more, have a look at this [url=http://www.ce-review.org/99/12/brown12.html]review[/url] of Czech wine festivals, burčák and Vinobraní, [url=http://vinobrani-2003.unas.cz/index.htm]photos[/url].
