Excursión ciclista de un día de Znojmo a Míkulov

Spin out of Znojmo’s hilltop old town above the Dyje and follow quiet roads and vineyard tracks east across South Moravia. It’s a relaxed 56 km with gentle rolling terrain (about 240 m up, a touch more down), mostly on paved surfaces with a few short gravel or farm-track sections—perfect for a touring bike or wider tires.

Expect vines, open fields, and sleepy cellar lanes, with chances to refuel in wine villages along the way. As you near Mikulov, the white limestone ridges of the Pálava hills start to fill the horizon, setting up a great finale.

Fun to know: Znojmo is a gateway to Podyjí National Park and is famed for both wine and its legendary pickled cucumbers. Mikulov is the heart of the Pálava wine region, crowned by a baroque château and the pilgrimage spot Holy Hill (Svatý kopeček)—a short push for a stellar sunset view if you’ve still got the legs.

Plan it as an easy day ride, and follow the Moravian Wine Trails signage where you see it.
