Cycling
Current trends include healthy lifestyle and development of cycling is closely related to that. The modern man does no longer want to be passive consumer of comfortable car drives and organised holiday packages, on the contrary longing to be active and independent.
Mikulov and the whole region is an attractive cycling venue. The landscape around Mikulov and the Pálava hills is interwoven with a network of well marked cycling paths including several long-distance and international routes. You can therefore set off for a cycling trip without worrying about losing the way and can plan your route on the basis of your fitness and interests. The offer is wide - whether to get to know the beautiful nature and landscape, architectural and other monuments, or whether to learn about the specifics of the country you are passing by.
The routes are often situated in the most beautiful and bet preserved parts of this area, where there are no bury roads and you can therefore enjoy the comfort of close contact with the beautiful nature. The cycling paths, however, do not cross the nature reserves and therefore it is necessary to observe the no entry signs found on the information notice boards. The cycling paths are connected to the long-distance routes and therefore the visit to Mikulov and its surroundings can be combined with a trip to the border areas of the neighbouring Austria. There are primarily cycling frontier crossings at Nový Přerov-Alt Prerau, Mikulov-Ottenthal or Valtice-Schrattenberg.
