Aromatic grass carp, Miller’s trout or wild catfish. Those are the delicacies that can be appreciated by many food connoisseurs. One does not need to travel as far as Southern Bohemia to taste some fresh water fish specialities. Even restaurants in the south of Moravia are able to prepare fish dishes that not only look good but are also very tasty and they do so using entirely fresh fish. It is because the area of Southern Moravia, being the basin of both the rivers Morava and Dyje, is abundant with many lakes.
The Lednice lakes are the well-known work of Moravian lake managers. They include the lakes Nesyt, Hlohovecký, Prostřední, Mlýnský and Zámecký and make up an area of 544 hectares of water surface that is used not only for fish breeding purposes but since 1952 it has also been a National natural preserve.

The dream of designer Daniel Piršč came true in Mikulov. He chose this South Moravian town over Prague where he had lived for almost two decades and in 2005 he opened his own registered studio called Studio Pirsc Porcelain. Art manufacturing was born in poetic surroundings of a ceremonial hall at the Mikulov Jewish cemetery. It is here where unique pieces of art are created which are an interesting alternative to porcelain mass production.

The history of Lednice castle
20 9 2009The first historical record of the castle in Lednice comes from 1222. At this time, a gothic fortress and courtyard stood here, which Czech king, Václav (Wenceslas) I, granted to Austrian nobleman Siegfried Sirotek.
At the end of the 13th century, the Lichtenstein family became owners of the whole of Lednice and nearby Mikulov. Originally from Styria in Austria, over time they expanded their ownership of land on both sides of the Moravia-Austria border. They become owners of Lednice in 1322.
Later to become one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the country, the Lichtenstein family had no special status in the Middle Ages and their properties were much more modest. And it was in Austria that they owned large swathes of land.
