Pavlov: Pavlov u Dolnich Vestonic: vodní nádrž Nové Mlýny-dolní
Nové Mlýny Lower Reservoir lies along the Dyje River, its expansive waters fill a lowland basin beneath the Pálava Hills. It is the largest of the three Nové Mlýny reservoirs, a water-management system built across the former Dyje floodplain in the second half of the 20th century. The reservoir’s open shoreline supports sailing, fishing and waterside recreation, while the nearby Pálava Protected Landscape Area preserves limestone hills and steppe habitats. Pavlov stands at the foot of those hills, close to the important prehistoric sites of Dolní Věstonice, where the ceramic Venus of Dolní Věstonice was discovered in 1925. This is a landscape shaped both by the river and by long human settlement.

The village sits below the Pálava Hills, a protected landscape of dry grasslands and rocky ridges above the Dyje valley. The ruins of Dívčí hrady, also known as Maidenburg Castle, occupy a ridge above Pavlov and recall the area’s medieval past. Wine cellars and tasting rooms make local white wines central to village life, while trails lead into the Pálava Protected Landscape Area.

South Moravian Region has acted as a cultural crossroads within the Czech lands since the Middle Ages. Brno, Czechia’s second-largest city, is its urban centre, with Špilberk Castle recalling its long strategic role. The region extends across the warm lowlands of the Morava and Dyje rivers, where vineyards shape the countryside around Mikulov and Znojmo. To the north, the Moravian Karst is known for its limestone caves and the Macocha Abyss. The Lednice–Valtice Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, combines formal estates, follies and parkland near the Austrian border.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
