Jiří features historic architecture and sweeping views of the landscape. The Naučná stezka Kobylí trail winds through the vineyards to a viewpoint, while the Biocentrum Ostrůvek offers a distinct connection with nature. If you are looking for accommodation in Kobylí, you can choose what to focus on: cultural history, vineyard landscapes or nature.
Winegrowing and Local Tradition
Kobylí’s registered vineyard area is listed as 289 hectares; this figure may change over time. The slopes around the former Kobylí Lake offer suitable conditions for numerous white grape varieties, including Veltlínské zelené, Tramín, Neuburské and Müller-Thurgau, as well as blue varieties such as Frankovka, Modrý Portugal, Svatovavřinecké and André.

Suchořádská Zmola is a wine cellar lane where winemakers meet to taste wines typical of Kobylí. At the lower end of the site there is also an old wooden wine press, which was restored and preserved in 2002.
Village History and Church
The Muzeum Kobylí is housed in the former civic school. It features an exhibition on the development of traditional dress in Kobylí. Another exhibition explores the history of winegrowing in Kobylí. Together, these two distinct themes trace the village’s history: clothing and the development of an important local industry.
Kostel sv. Jiří is a historic landmark in Kobylí. Its surviving Gothic presbytery dates from around the late 15th century. The cemetery next to the church offers sweeping views of Pálava and the Ždánický les landscape. Those interested in historic architectural styles will find a tangible example at the church; the adjoining cemetery adds expansive views of the two named landscapes.
Trails and Nature Observation
Kobylí vrch, also known locally as Homole, is 334 metres above sea level. The Stezka nad vinohrady trail was built on this hill in 2018. The Naučná stezka Kobylí trail leads from Kobylí through the vineyards to a viewpoint. Six information panels along the route describe local sights and the history of the village. Those interested in village history can find information along the trail as well as in the museum exhibition.
Biocentrum Ostrůvek comprises 13 ponds and a stream extended by around 170 metres. A new birdwatching site offers the chance, with a little luck, to spot bee-eaters or purple herons. Observing these two species can complement Kobylí’s winegrowing and history themes; whether you succeed depends on luck.
The Velkopavlovická Wine Trail is also a named local point of reference: Kobylí railway station is located on this wine trail.
