With two weeks traveling around Central Europe, these region of the Czech Republic was my most anticipated and ended up being my favorite adding a pin on a map of one of my favorite places in the world. After leaving Bratislava, i anxiously waiting for a stopover in the small city of Breclav near the Czech and Slovak border for a small regional train to Mikulov. The train was nothing but two old train cars being towed by a small engine train. After about an hour and change I finally arrived in the little town of Mikulov. After a small walk to the market for beer and necesities, I arrived at my hotel, Hotel Templ, which sits at the foot of the castle. The street, is beautifully lined up with pastel colored buildings and a nice view of the Austrian border.
After walking through the casle, I stumbled upon a small market and festival with food, Moravian wine, and other goods on the table for dirt cheap. Once I had a small meal, I set off for the highest point in the town. A short 25 minute hike up to the church up top reveals rewarding panoramic views of Mikulov and beyond, a view you cannot miss when coming here. Next hike was up to another semi high point, an old tower with a nice angle of the town. With much of the town seen, and being that it was low season with not much to do, I had my Czech beers relaxed and hung out with a little dinner at the hotel.
After having breakfast and checking out, I made a stopover at the small town of Valtice, a short 10 minute train ride to see the Valtice castle, an former German/Austrian castle with the beauty of a palace you'd see in Vienna. From there I set off for Brno. When I say off the beaten path, these towns surely were that. I saw no foreigners but Czech natives, exactly the experience I wanted for myself. :)
