Why visit

A deeply incised Dyje River valley of forests, heathlands and cliff viewpoints along the Austrian border. Czechia’s smallest national park protects a remarkably intact river canyon and connects ecologically with Austria’s Thayatal National Park. It is included because it adds a distinctive experience to a realistic Znojmo or regional itinerary rather than acting as a filler stop.

What you will see

  • Dyje river meanders.
  • Forest and heathland trails.
  • Cross-border protected landscape.

Visitor tips

  1. 1

    Use the official park map and stay on permitted paths.

  2. 2

    Carry water because exposed vineyard and heathland sections can be hot.

  3. 3

    Use Znojmo or Vranov as a practical base instead of attempting too many trailheads in one day.
