Moravská Nová Ves among wine lanes and floodplain forest

Moravská Nová Ves lies on a terrace above the Kyjovka River, near the Slovak border; here, the Morava River forms the border. Winegrowing, landscapes and recurring cultural events offer a range of reasons to stay. To plan your trip, you can first decide whether to focus on the wine lanes, trails through the surrounding area or a particular festival.

Winegrowing, lakes and trails

The Neoveská Lakes are a natural tourist attraction created by gravel extraction. This means two distinct landscape features sit side by side in Moravská Nová Ves: vineyards as part of winegrowing, and lakes formed by gravel extraction.

Moravská Nová Ves has more than 150 hectares of vineyards and around 170 wine cellars in the town. The Cabernet Moravia grape variety is also associated with Moravská Nová Ves: it originated here. Winegrowing, cellar lanes and the origins of this grape variety offer different points of interest if wine is the reason for your trip.

The Neoveská Trail takes visitors to the wine lanes and into the local floodplain forest. It also connects two long-distance cycling routes that pass through the town. The trail thus combines destinations in the town and surrounding landscape with a link between cycling routes. Horse-riding trails are a separate feature: they run around Moravská Nová Ves and through floodplain forests.

Another cultural landmark is the Church of Saint James the Greater, built between 1771 and 1773. Along with recurring festivals, this historic building is one of the various features that can shape a stay in Moravská Nová Ves.

Festivals and their different focuses

Vinobraní is traditionally held on the second Saturday in September in the authentic Výmol and Zátiší cellar lanes. The festival features a costumed procession with brass music, open wine cellars and regional specialties. Dates and program details may change; food and wine offerings may also vary. So check the information for your chosen year before travelling.

The Day of Folk Crafts has a different focus. This traditional cultural and social event is associated with a folk market and includes demonstrations of handicraft production. It also features culinary specialties and wine from Moravská Nová Ves. Specific program items may vary from one edition to the next.

The Svatojakubské hody also has a distinct format: this folk festival lasts three days and takes place after the feast of Saint James. The Podlužácký costume ball is another local tradition, held annually in Moravská Nová Ves. If you plan to travel for one of these events, check the dates before your trip.

If you are visiting for a specific event, it is best to plan around the confirmed dates and program.
