Moravia, the easterly region of the Czech Republic, is a stunning cycling destination. The vineyards, gentle hills and UNESCO-listed towns blend into scenic landscapes that reflect centuries of European history. Distinguished by its quiet rural roads, well-marked trails and networks connecting the region’s wineries, Moravia offers a unique and joyous pedalling experience in the heart of Central Europe.
South Moravia is the Czech Republic’s premier wine region. With a landscape of gentle hills dotted with vineyards, traditional wine cellars, and quaint villages, it’s the ideal setting for leisurely rides. With stunning views, fresh air, and maybe a quick pause to try a glass of local white wine, cycling doesn’t get more chilled. Moravia is also home to cultural gems such as Lednice-Valtice, a UNESCO-listed landscape of chateaux, gardens, and historic trails. The towns of Mikulov, Znojmo, and Kroměříž offer baroque squares, Renaissance architecture, and vibrant local customs—all easily explored by bike. Cycling in Moravia takes you close to local life and its traditions. Visit the regional festivals, with traditional folk music, try local cuisine, or wine-tasting in the centuries-old cellars. Whether you're riding through sunflower fields or chatting with winemakers, the slow pace of life and warm hospitality offers an authentic experience.
Moravia enjoys a continental climate with warm, sunny summers and crisp, pleasant temperatures in the spring and autumn months when the countryside has beautiful foliage. The best times to cycle are May to June and September to early October. Terrain in Moravia is largely flat with cycle routes following river beds, and traversing fishponds and protected riparian forests. There are a few gentle hills in the wine-producing districts, and the occasional hill town. More hilly sections are generally confined to the border area such as the White Carpathians, or the Jeseníky Mountains. The region is quieter than other parts of the country, and most routes are on peaceful country roads or dedicated bike paths. Cycle routes are generally well-maintained and have excellent signposting. There are also good public transport connections.

Our itineraries include vineyard loops, castle-to-castle rides, and scenic countryside routes.
