Milovická stráň Nature Reserve

The Milovická stráň Nature Reserve covers 87.54 hectares and has been protected since 1 July 1994. The habitats conserved there include loess steppes, herb-rich margins, and open oak and oak-hornbeam woodland. The description of the protected area thus encompasses open steppe, herb-rich margins and sparse woodland. More than 200 plant species grow in the reserve; it is also the only known site in the Czech lands of Orobanche teucrii. The protected area is distinguished in different ways by its size, habitats and plant diversity. If nature is a factor in your travel plans, this description gives you specific information about what is protected here.

Wine and local events

Wine and local events are also among the topics described. At the traditional Svěcení vína on 25 November 2023, young wine, cimbalom music and a tasting of spreads came together. For the 2025 edition, the winemakers of Milovice and the municipality invited visitors to the 20th anniversary wine exhibition in Milovice. These two events offer different experiences: a tasting with music and a dedicated wine exhibition.

The Krojované hody Milovice were announced for 2025 and 2026. The 2026 edition’s programme included folklore and the raising of a maypole. This folklore programme can be distinguished from the wine events: here the focus is on tradition and raising the maypole, while the wine events centre on wine, music and tasting. The programme details refer to the editions specified.

Church and medieval local history

The church dedicated to St. Oswald offers another historical point of interest. Its core probably dates from the late 15th century. The archaeological site around St. Oswald’s Church marks the probable extent of medieval Milovice. The dating of the church’s core and the archaeological site shed light on different aspects of local history: the construction of a religious building and the presumed size of the medieval settlement. If you also consider historical themes when choosing a destination, Milovice offers both architectural history and the archaeological history of its settlement.
