Description
Mikulov is a historic wine town in South Moravia, nestled among the limestone hills of the Pálava region near the Austrian border. The town is known for its Baroque château, picturesque main square, rich Jewish heritage, and surrounding vineyards. For centuries, Mikulov was an important center of Jewish life in Moravia. Its historic synagogue and centuries-old Jewish cemetery still bear witness to this legacy. Local wineries and traditional wine cellars make the town a major destination for wine tourism in South Moravia. Rising above the historic center, Svatý kopeček features a historic Way of the Cross and sweeping views across the vineyards toward the Austrian border.
