Bořetice: Hiking, wine and regional culture

Bořetice brings together a range of interests for travelers: hiking and cycling, wine traditions, local history and scenery. If you are looking for a hotel in Bořetice, you can start by considering whether trails, a wine tasting, a festival date or nature will be the focus of your stay. Local attractions offer specific points of interest: named routes, wine cellars, cultural sites and recurring events.

Hiking, cycling and connected places

The Kravihorská tourist trail is primarily intended for hiking and is also suitable for cycling. The 30 km Modré Hory cycling and hiking trail connects Bořetice with Kobylí, Němčičky, Velké Pavlovice and Vrbice. The trails therefore differ in their character for planning purposes: hiking is the focus of the Kravihorská tourist trail, while Modré Hory connects several wine-growing villages. If a cycling trip is also an option for you, the comparison is useful: the Kravihorská tourist trail is also suitable for cycling, while Modré Hory is designated as a cycling and hiking trail. When choosing a route, Modré Hory has a specific stated length of 30 km; for the Kravihorská tourist trail, its intended use for hiking and suitability for cycling are the key details.

Wine cellars and wine tastings

Local winegrowers open the wine cellars beneath Kraví hora to residents and tourists. The Pod Kraví Horou wine cellars comprise approximately 260 cellars. Vinařství Hempl offers individually arranged guided wine tastings in its family wine cellar. This means the local wine-cellar culture and a specifically named guided tasting offer distinct points of interest. The Republic of Kraví hora also organizes wine exhibitions. For a stay centered on wine, you can choose between exploring the cellars, taking a guided tasting and visiting the exhibitions.

Church, festivals and local culture

The Church of Saint Anne is a Baroque church dating from the first quarter of the 18th century. Two recurring festivals provide specific dates in the annual calendar: the Anenská pouť takes place in Bořetice on the last Sunday in July, and hody is held on the first Sunday in August. If you would like to travel for either event, you can use the relevant Sunday as a fixed point in your trip planning; check the specific event dates for the year in question. Also part of the local scene is the satirical Republic of Kraví hora, founded in 2000, which organizes wine exhibitions. The church, festivals and republic offer different ways to experience local culture: from a historic building to recurring events and a satirical founding.

Landscape and views

The Zázmoníky Nature Reserve lies on the northern edge of the cadastral area of Bořetice. Kraví hora Lookout Tower is a 15-meter-high wooden tower offering views of wine-growing villages. These highlight different aspects of the landscape: the location of a nature reserve on the one hand and views of wine-growing villages from the lookout tower on the other. If you are planning your trip around nature and views, you can consider these alongside the routes, wine culture and cultural events.
