Description :

Public transport hike (train - frequent connections).

The first part follows the cycling path through the vineyards around Retz (tarmac, I am afraid, so please only register if you are happy to walk on this sort of surface for approx. 1 1/2, it's still very scenic); after crossing the border we descend to the bank of the river Thaya and follow it for another 3-4 hours to the very attractive town of Znaimo.

I'm planning quite an early start in order to have some time to look around in Znaimo.
