Excursion Tips
Excursions around Luhačovice
The surroundings of Luhačovice offer a wide range of attractive excursion destinations – from beautiful natural landscapes and cultural highlights to remarkable historical landmarks. Thanks to its diversity, the Zlín Region is one of the most interesting travel destinations in eastern Czechia.
Here, three traditional folklore regions meet: the distinctive Wallachia (Valašsko), the hospitable Slovácko, and the fertile Haná plain. Within a relatively small area you can explore spa towns, vineyards, gentle hills and mountain landscapes. Traces of the Great Moravian Empire, valuable historic buildings and the unique functionalist architecture of the Baťa era shape the cultural heritage of this remarkable region.
Zlín and Surroundings
Zlín is the economic, cultural and industrial centre of eastern Moravia. The city owes its unique functionalist character to the long-standing presence of the Baťa shoe company, which created a visionary urban concept here in the first half of the 20th century.
Wallachia – Tradition and Nature
From the charming town of Vizovice through Valašské Klobouky and Nový Jičín to the peaks of the Beskydy Mountains, the region of Wallachia (Valašsko) offers an impressive variety of cultural experiences, outdoor activities and natural beauty. As in Luhačovice, you will also encounter the architectural legacy of the renowned Slovak architect Dušan Jurkovič.
Slovácko – Wine, Traditions and Living Culture
Slovácko is a region full of living traditions, historical landmarks, authentic folklore and culinary delights. Almost every village is surrounded by vineyards, and characteristic wine cellars shape the landscape.
The region includes three of the most important Moravian wine-growing areas: Slovácko itself as well as the Velké Pavlovice and Mikulov subregions. Numerous themed wine trails run through the countryside and invite visitors to explore. Throughout the year, traditional wine events take place here – from harvest festivals and tastings to the ceremonial “Zarážání hory”, marking the symbolic start of the wine harvest.
Haná – Cultural Landscape in the Heart of Moravia
Haná is a picturesque flat landscape with fertile fields and protected floodplain forests located in the heart of Moravia. The region is known for its mild climate, traditional cuisine, vibrant folklore with richly decorated costumes and a distinctive local dialect. Several UNESCO World Heritage sites testify to its cultural significance.
