Introduction

Cyclists

welcome in

South Moravia ake your bike, or start by unfolding your road map, and set off for rides across South

Moravia. It is worth doing. Within one single day you can admire fertile fields and

vineyards in the lowlands, and in next to no time you can enjoy a ride through forests resembling those in a mountain range. You can pedal your bike in the centre of a town and in a moment you can pass along silent woody landscapes or rivers. Take, e.g., the Lednice-Valtice area or the battlefield of Austerlitz where you embrace history, and on the same day you can be confronted with the pulsating present in the Brno Exhibition Centre. In the Moravian Karst you can take a deep plunge in the mystic world of underground caves and submersible streams. A few hours later you can admire South Moravia high above the ground from the gallery of some of the numerous outlooktowers. There are many attractive spots in this region that you can reach without any particularly fast vehicle – a bicycle will do. South Moravia is a true gem for cycling tourists. In order to facilitate their excursions, the real world of South Moravia has been complemented with yet another world, launched in autumn 2007, and namely a virtual one. That information guide for bicycle touring through South Moravia is only a modest review of information; all available data can be accessed via internet: "Cycling portal of the Southern Moravia Region" www.cyklo-jizni-morava.cz www.radfahren-landesbezirk-sudmahren.com www.cycling-southern-moravia-region.com This guide is part of an implemented project that has been co-financed within Measure 1.3, Tourist travel and offer of leisure activities – Program of Initiatives if the Community INTERREG IIIA Austria – Czech Republic, under the title "Cycling Tourism Portal of the South Moravian Region linked with Lower Austria ". This project runs under the auspices of Mr. Milan Venclík, 1st deputy of the Governor of the South Moravian Region.

Notes to track descriptions in the brochure: – place at the track – place close to the track – dangerous length, risky spot

Difficulty classification: ■ Easy trail Asphalt or other smooth surfaces prevail. The profile is flat (or down the slope) or with rather small ups and downs. Even an untrained person and a child under 10 can cope. ■ Trail of medium difficulty The surface varies. In some instances the gradient may be considerable. Recommended for partially trained persons and more mature children. ■ Difficult trail The surface varies. The profile has considerable gradients in the up-direction. The down-slopes require low speed considering the surface. Recommendable only to trained persons, in general not suitable for children.

Landscape classification along the trail: Highly attractive The landscape along the track is rich in natural elements (forests, rocks, water streams) or the man-made elements match the landscape, some artificial and some canalised streams, parks, architectural monuments…). The landscape along the trail is diversified. Close to it national and international monuments accessible for the public, monuments of technology and important sites for the natural sciences (natural reservations, natural monuments, memorable trees etc.). The prevailing share of the trail is separated from automobile traffic. Medium attractive Man-made elements (woods, agricultural lands, canalised streams, settlements) that partly match the landscape and partly not prevail along the trail. Certain sections are rather monotonous, certain sections are manysided. Close to the trail memorable places of regional importance are accessible for the public, technical monuments and valuable natural sites (natural reservations, natural memorable places and memorable trees) can be found along the trail. In some instances the track is separated from automobile traffic, in others both are combined. Less attractive Man-made elements (woods, agricultural lands, canalised streams, settlements) that partly match the landscape and partly not are seen to prevail along the trail. The landscape along the trail tends to be rather monotonous. There are few memorable places, technical monuments and natural sites (natural reservations, memorable sites and trees) along the way. In some instances the track is separated from automobile traffic, but mostly both are combined. Certain hurdles can occur discouraging the bikers from using the track, such as very dense automobile traffic, long impassable sections, necessity to carry the bikes.

The track in Brno leads predominantly over agreeable cycling paths or smaller streets, further along the right bank of the Brno dam lake over a lively street of the 2nd class. From Veverská Bitýška to Tišnov mostly over roads of 3rd class. Roads with low traffic and frequent ups and downs between Tišnov and Doubravník (through Lomnice). Dense car traffic at the 2nd class road in the section Doubravník – Nedvědice. This is a favoured track among the Brno cycling fans, as the starting way for excursions into the surrounding of the Brno dam lake and further to the Czech-Moravian highlands. Dangerous spots: All crossings of lively streets in Brno, especially Vídeňská and at Anthropos, public lighting poles standing in the line of the path between Brno-Komín and Brno-Bystrc, further densely frequented road of the 2nd class in Čebín, and the section Doubravník – Nedvědice with heavy car traffic. Families with children are recommended to favour unmarked roads at the left bank of the river in Brno Jundrov, the same applies to the bypass of the Brno dam lake, even for the price of overcoming the rather "breakneck" section at Zouvalka opposite the Veveří castle.

Brno, FC Sparta stadium: crossroads of international routes 1, 4, 5 until a perfect network of cycling trails will have been build along the rivers Svitava and Svratka. Brno, Rondo hall: about 1 km from the main railway station Brno. Dangerous crossing of two streets.

Essential work of functionalist architecture worldwide, UNESCO listed. Brno, Staré Brno: dangerous crossing at the beginning of Vídeňská street. Brno, Exhibition Centre: halls in the Bauhaus style, frequent trade fair events, sport events and concerts at the adjacent velodrom. Brno, Anthropos hall: museum. Macquette of a mammoth in actual size. A dangerous street crossing nearby. Brno, Jundrov, bridge. Brno, Komín: St. Lawrence church. The section Komín – Bystrc, marked as cycling track, has public lighting poles in the pavement. The cycling traffic tends to be lively. Brno, Bystrc, Letenská foot bridge: option to turn off to the picturesque valley Údolí oddechu. Nice hilly paths and meadows, deer park. Brno, Bystrc, centre: Church of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist. Birth place of painter and sculptor Jakub Obrovský. Protected lime tree at the centre of the city district. ZOO at the left bank of the river Svratka. Brno, Bystrc, boat port: The Brno dam lake called also Kníničská. Boat cruises between the barrage and Veverská Bítýška (using accumulator batteries).

Amber trail, Road Brno – Vienna

international

The trail leads mostly over 3rd class roads, special purpose asphalt roads or newly built cycling tracks, at the Austrian border also over a former signal way. Especially the section between Brno and the shopping centre Olympia is favoured for cycling and in-line skating. Its benefits reside in its level profile and relative safety for families with children. It is also popular among distant bike riders as a connection between Brno and Pálava and the Lednice-Valtice area, Novomlýnské artificial lakes, or between Brno and Vienna. Its disadvantage is the lack of accompanying green; it is not recommendable during really hot days.

The sculpture of Holy Jan Nepomucký of mid 18th century standing in the park of the monastery is in the Baroque style, as well as the church of the Finding of the Holy Cross (1722–39) and the sculpture of St. Florian of the 18th century. The bridge over an arm of Svratka dated 1760–61 is a technical monument. Opatovice: church of St. Charles Boromeus. Blučina: the town hall of 1602 in late Renaissance, the church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary has a late Romanesque nucleus of the 13th century. The Baroque plague column was built in 1720. The wayside column at the road from Moutnice dates back to the 18th century. The hill Výhon with orchards and a superb vista of the broad valley called Dyjskosvratecký úval testify to the strategic location of dwellings of praehistoric cultures. If riding a bike, the hill is accessible from the crossroads at the motorway. Židlochovice: Renaissance castle of 1592. Re-structured to a representative Baroque residence in 1722–28, Empire adaptations in 1844–45. Since 1918 property of the Czechoslovak state. Since 1924 the summer residence of president T. G. Masaryk. At the present day it is a representative place for important interstate visits. The natural landscape park at the castle is open.

The track leads in Brno through the old industrial zone along the valley of the river Svitava, using partially streets, partially cycling paths, in section Brno, Obřany – Bílovice a forest road and a forest path. The section Bílovice – Adamov is a low-traffic road of 2nd class. A very nice asphalt road through the wood leads between Adamov and the place called Nový hrad, crossing to the main road. A dangerous section is road of 2nd class from the crossing Nový hrad down to Blansko and its continuation through the valley of Punkva (heavy car traffic). The trail has very nice sections in Suchý žleb at Sklaní mlýn (rocky formations) and then to the North from Sloup; some forest roads are prohibited for motor vehicles. However, within the vicinity of Brno marking can be missing or destroyed due to deplorable vandalism. Dangerous spots are all crossings of streets with heavy traffic in Brno. Considerable gradients should be overcome in the village Ostrov and at the north as well as south from the village Sloup.

Road number marking

The river Svitava in Brno, Obřany

Cave Kůlna

Route Punkevní jeskyně (not marked) and before Sloup you can join trail 5. However, thus you will leave aside the caves Katerinská and Balcarka. Trail 5 leads from Skalní mlýn through Suchý žleb, (continuing up to Holštejn). Both deep valleys (žleb) contain numerous caves and lime stone formations. Pustý dry walley: carst valley without any water stream from Sloup to Skalní mlýn. It contains over 450 caves that are not open for the public, except for the accessible Punkevní caves. The limestone walls are up to 90 m high. Punkevní cave: caves open to the public. Discovered by K. Absolon in 1909–33. The excursion round starts in the dry section down to the bottom of the Macocha precipice and returns by boats over the submersible river Punkva.

The depth of the lake amounting to 48,9 m, the total depth of the abyss makes 187,6 m. Its opening has remarkable dimensions of 76×174 m, in form close to an oval. This precipice came to being by the destruction of the ceiling of an enormous cave. The submersible river of Punkva flows at its bottom having two lakes, the Upper and the Lower (part of the excursion round of Punkevní caves). A cabin ropeway enabling the transport of bicycles serves for the connection between the upper edge and Pustý žleb. Balcarka cave: discovered in 1923–24 by citizens of Ostrov and opened for the public in 1936 and 1938. Ostrov u Macochy: late Baroque church of Holy Mary Magdalene.

Property of the Liechtensteins (1249–1560) and Dietrichsteins (1575–1945). The town was tolerant to minorities, as evidenced by the presence of the prosecuted Neobaptist-Habaner sect that was persecuted in the 16th century, as well as by the size of the jewish community that used to be the administrative centre of Moravian Jews and the seat of the Moravian rabbi from mid 16th to mid 19th century. During the times of cardinal František Dietrichstein Mikulov was considered to be the Moravian cultural capital. The stagnation began after the railway road between Vienna and Brno by-passed Mikulov, and further after World War II, after the Germans had been expelled and the Iron Curtain located close by. The situation has improved afte. 1989, due to the revival of the border check point and to the refurbishment of the road to Brno. Down to the present day relatively cohesive sections of the city wall constructed since mid 14th century have been preserved. The chateau, originally a forti-fied castle from the beginning of the 13th century, was substantially re-built at the begin-ning of the 17th century under cardinal Dietrichstein. The castle received its present day Baroque form after the fire of 1719. It hosts the museum. Part of the exhibition is also the castle cellar with a giant barrel. The prevost church of Holy Wenceslas is mentioned as early as 1173. The municipal tower close to the St Wenceslas church is Gothic.

U Tří Grácií, crossing Lednice, crossing to the railway station Lednice, town square: Liechtenstein property from the 13th century, almost cotinuously down to 1945. In the place of an originally Gothic fortress a Renaissance chateau was built 1544–85. The existing form is New-Gothic of 1846–58. The eastern wing with historical installations is open to the public, 2 excursion circuits. Palm glasshouse (at the eastern side of the chateau) erected in 1843–45. An extraordinary technical achievement in its time, with imposing dimension (92×13×7,5 m).

The upper part has been shaped in the French style. The lower part of the park is flown through by an arm of the river Dyje forming a system of channels and ponds with piled up isles that are interconnected with bridges. Various romantic elements in the park (minaret, a ruin of a Roman aquaduct and others) are arranged so as to offer views through the trees and bushes. During the last major adaptations of the park in 1884–87 a part of the town southwards from the castle had to giuve way, a New-Gothic square was buil,t as the park was considerably enlarged down to the railway station.

Moravian trail

national

The trail leads predominantly over reinforced field paths, some of them of rather poor quality, through wet meadows of the river Morava. Local streets are usually used in the villages. In many stretches there are gradually replaced by good cycling tracks. The length of about 1 km of the 1st class road at Rohatec is dangerous and requires attention.

The trail leads from the direction Olomouc, Kroměříž, Otrokovice, Uherské Hradiště. Veselí nad Moravou: a part of the town upon a river isle is a municipal monument zone. The Renaissance chateau was built in the 16th century, replacing the old castle. Close to the railwaystation the Baroque church of Holy Guardian Angels of 1714–34 catches the eye by its high roof and small towers. The buildings of the former Servit Monastery have been preserved at the church. The St. Bartholomew church bears features of the late Gothic style of the 1st half of 13th century, at least in its nucleus. A synagogue, a water power station and the former manorial yard No 664 are further interesting structures. Vnorovy: in the 1st half of the 19th century a meteorite weighing over 35 kg fell down close to the village. It is deposited in a Vienna museum. Birthplace of Martin Húsek, a priest of the Hussites (died in Prague at the stake in 1421), and of the illegal worker Maruška Kudeříková who was executed by the Nazis for having helped the Czechs to pass through the border to Slovakia. The church of St. Elisabeth from the beginning of the 20th century in the style of New Baroque. Strážnice: see trail 46. Attention at the street of 1st class at Rohatec. Rohatec-colony Rohatec: oil drills and inoperable lignite mines in the vicinity.Close to the crossing of the railway track Rohatec – Sudoměřice and Morávka a dumping facility is still standing that used to load lignite to boats navigating from here through the Baťa canal to Otrokovice. Baťův canal: navigational canal leading in parallel with the river Morava that was built by Baťa in the stretch Rohatec – Otrokovice, serving formerly in particular for transporting South Moravian lignite for the Bata power station at Otrokovice, but was later neglected. Its length is 50 km, of that 26 km through the riverbed of Morava and the remainder through an artificial channel that was also intended for irrigation. It was launched in 1938. Steel boats of 36 m and 1,2 m draught were pulled at first by horses and later by a tractor. That is why a dam was built along the whole artificial branch facilitating the movement of animals or machines. In 1945 the channel was destroyed by the retreating German army, after the war in 1947 the operation was renewed for a short time but then terminated allegedly due to poor economy. After 1989 it has been gradually refurbished so as to be navigable for excursions and sporting motor boats. It is necessary to navigate over locks (the total of 13), but the passage of boats through the chambers is free of charge. Some of the excursion boats transport also bicycles. There are lease points of boats at the bank offering the option of reserving a program with one's own vessel or a lease boat. Očovské meadowland: natural monument, wet and moist meadows and bushes. Hodonín: see trail 45.

Today this is the seat of the South Moravian museum with archaeological, histori-cal, zoological and botanical collections that are open for the pubic. The former Premon-strater church with the church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary and of St. Wenceslas was founded in 1190.

Physical difficulty: The track is easy. It leads almost constantly upon one level or has only short ups and downs. Attractiveness of the landscape: The opinions differ, since most of the track leads around the Lower Novomlýnská lake. Fishers and fans of water sports consider these lakes as attractive and purposeful, the environmentalist do not. However, all agree as to the evaluation of the section Bulhary - Lednice. The latter leads over an old asphalt road with prohibition of motor vehicles through a very nice wet forest. The high level of attractiveness of this track is enhanced by the option of visiting the famous museum at Dolní Věstonice with Neolithic findings. Road number marking 27
