Dear Steemit friends and followers,
Welcome to my Travel Tip series where I promote some of the most beautiful places, interesting landmarks and impressive architectural sites of my homeland, the Czech Republic.
Today, I would like to take you to one of the most beautiful Czech town, the town of Mikulov.
Located in the Southern Moravian Region of the country, very close to the Czech-Austrian border, Mikulov is a little town with some 7,400 inhabitants.

Founded as early as at the beginning of the 12th century, Mikulov has a long history and numerous historic landmarks. Dominated by the majestic Mikulov Castle, the town boasts many interesting pieces of architecture dating back to different eras and styles.

Mikulov is also known as the center of the most important wine-making region of the country.
Except for the vineyards, however, the town is also surrounded by breathtaking nature as it is located at the border of several renowned natural areas and reserves such as the Mikulov Highlands, the Moravian Karst, the Palava Reserve and the picturesque valley of the River Thaya.

As you can see, Mikulov has something for everyone so make sure to check out this beautiful town once you make it to this part of the Czech Republic.

Your post's are really making me rethink my next travel destination Czech Republic here i come :P
Happy to hear that I gave you some inspiration! Go for it:)!

This is one of my countries that definetly I need to visit, you share so much of it and the arquitechture, the history everything.. Loved also the vineyard!!! Thanks for sharing all the time cute and simbolic things!
I certainly hope you will. Besides the capital city of Prague we do have many other hidden gems scattered around the country and Mikulov is just one of them!
Thank you for your post. I thoroughly enjoy discovering parts of the Czech Republic that I didn't get to travel to while I sit at my desk. What a beautiful country! One of the impressions that I got was that there was tremendous national pride, and that preserving the national heritage is taken very seriously.Perhaps at the risk of sounding a little too political on a travel post, at a time when the very concepts of patriotism and national pride are deemed to be unacceptable by increasingly globalist governments in Western Europe, I found the attachment of the Czech Republic and its people to their roots and their culture heartwarming.
I think you are very much spot on. Czech people are very patriotic and do have a pride. We also have strong roots and do follow our cultural heritage quit strongly but let's see how many more generations or decades that can last. With the globalization, things are changing rapidly and what is or was set in stone might not be the truth in the futur. Thank you so much for stopping by. Tomas
