About Pálava

In 1976, the Pálava Protected Landscape Area (PLA) was declared in the countryside around the Pavlovské Hills in South Moravia. Pálava can be translated into English as “Sun-baked Country”, which refers to the sun-heated limestone rocks of the Pavlovske Hills and the dry loess slopes of the rolling countryside of this region.

Tourism

Pálava BR is one of the Czech Republic’s primary destinations for tourists, who are drawn by the attractive and unusual landscape as well as the local history, monuments, and hospitality. The summit of Devín Hill, which provides a diverse range of natural environments – introduced by a nature trail – and fine long-distance views, has always been the most visited site. Knowledge of the region’s history can be obtained from the exhibitions in the Regional Museum in Mikulov and in Dolní Vestonice, and also from individual sites, such as the Devicky and Sirotci Hradek castle ruins, the “Monument of Rural Architecture” in Pavlov, and the “Safeguarded Town Monument” in Mikulov. More detailed understanding can be gained by visiting the numerous historical monuments which are scattered throughout the Pálava BR. Recent changes, particularly in the political and economic sphere, permit the development of an intermediate level of service that provide accommodation for both local and foreign visitors.
