Introduction

Cyclists

South Moraviawelcome in

Take 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 outlook-

towers. There are many attractive spots in this region that you can reach without any par-

ticularly 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"

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 untrainedperson 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 maturechildren.

■ Difficult trail The surface varies. The profile has considerable gradients in the up-direction. The down-slopes require low speed considering the sur-face. Recommendable only to trained persons, in general not suitable for children.

Landscape classification along the trail:Highly attractive ÎÎÎThe 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 itnational 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 ÎÎMan-made elements (woods, agricultural lands, canalised streams, settlements) that partly match the landscape and partly not prevailalong the trail. Certain sections are rather monotonous, certain sections are manysided. Close to the trail memorable places of region-al importance are accessible for the public, technical monuments and valuable natural sites (natural reservations, natural memorableplaces and memorable trees) can be found along the trail. In some instances the track is separated from automobile traffic, in othersboth are combined.

Less attractive ÎMan-made elements (woods, agricultural lands, canalised streams, settlements) that partly match the landscape and partly not are seento prevail along the trail. The landscape along the trail tends to be rather monotonous. There are few memorable places, technical mon-uments and natural sites (natural reservations, memorable sites and trees) along the way. In some instances the track is separated fromautomobile traffic, but mostly both are combined. Certain hurdles can occur discouraging the bikers from using the track, such as verydense automobile traffic, long impassable sections, necessity to carry the bikes.

The track in Brno leads predominantly over agreeable cycling paths orsmaller streets, further along the right bank of the Brno dam lake overa lively street of the 2nd class. From Veverská Bitýška to Tišnov mostly overroads of 3rd class. Roads with low traffic and frequent ups and downsbetween Tišnov and Doubravník (through Lomnice). Dense car traffic atthe 2nd class road in the section Doubravník – Nedvědice. This is a favouredtrack among the Brno cycling fans, as the starting way for excursions intothe surrounding of the Brno dam lake and further to the Czech-Moravianhighlands. Dangerous spots: All crossings of lively streets in Brno,especially Vídeňská and at Anthropos, public lighting poles standing in theline of the path between Brno-Komín and Brno-Bystrc, further denselyfrequented road of the 2nd class in Čebín, and the section Doubravník –Nedvědice with heavy car traffic. Families with children are recommendedto favour unmarked roads at the left bank of the river in Brno Jundrov, thesame applies to the bypass of the Brno dam lake, even for the price ofovercoming the rather "breakneck" section at Zouvalka opposite theVeveří castle.

Physical difficulty: The track is medium diffi-cult, some places in the vicinity of Lomnice aredifficult. The passage through Brno betweenthe centre and the Brno dam lake is easy.Attractiveness of landscape: Mostly medi-um attractive, very attractive sections are bet-ween Lomnice and Doubravník and at thePernštějn castle.Road number marking

4Route Amber trail, Road Brno – Vienna68 km internationalÎÎ

The trail leads mostly over 3rd class roads, special purpose asphalt roadsor newly built cycling tracks, at the Austrian border also over a former sig-nal way. Especially the section between Brno and the shopping centreOlympia is favoured for cycling and in-line skating. Its benefits reside in itslevel profile and relative safety for families with children. It is also popularamong distant bike riders as a connection between Brno and Pálava andthe Lednice-Valtice area, Novomlýnské artificial lakes, or between Brnoand Vienna. Its disadvantage is the lack of accompanying green; it is notrecommendable during really hot days.

Physical difficulty: The track is easy.Attractiveness of landscape: Mostly medi-um attractive, some less attractive sections.Road number marking

The trail leads from the direction Olomouc, Kroměříž, Otrokovice, UherskéHradiště.Veselí nad Moravou: a part of the town upon a river isle is a municipal monu-ment zone. The Renaissance chateau was built in the 16th century, replacing theold castle. Close to the railwaystation the Baroque church of Holy GuardianAngels of 1714–34 catches the eye by its high roof and small towers. The build-ings 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 formermanorial yard No 664 are further interesting structures.Vnorovy: in the 1st half of the 19th century a meteorite weighing over 35 kg felldown close to the village. It is deposited in a Vienna museum.

Baťův canal: navigational canal leading in parallel with the river Morava that wasbuilt by Baťa in the stretch Rohatec – Otrokovice, serving formerly in particular fortransporting South Moravian lignite for the Bata power station at Otrokovice, butwas later neglected. Its length is 50 km, of that 26 km through the riverbed ofMorava and the remainder through an artificial channel that was also intended forirrigation. It was launched in 1938. Steel boats of 36 m and 1,2 m draught werepulled at first by horses and later by a tractor. That is why a dam was built along thewhole artificial branch facilitating the movement of animals or machines. In 1945the channel was destroyed by the retreating German army, after the war in 1947the operation was renewed for a short time but then terminated allegedly due topoor economy. After 1989 it has been gradually refurbished so as to be navigablefor excursions and sporting motor boats. It is necessary to navigate over locks (thetotal 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 ofboats at the bank offering the option of reserving a program with one's own vesselor a lease boat. Očovské meadowland: natural monument, wet and moist meadows andbushes.Hodonín: see trail 45.

Physical difficulty: The track is easy. Itleads almost constantly upon one level orhas only short ups and downs. Attractiveness of the landscape: The opini-ons differ, since most of the track leads aroundthe Lower Novomlýnská lake.
