The Velkopavlovická Wine Trail runs through Zaječí near the Church of St John the Baptist. This places the wine trail and the late Gothic church in a specific geographical context. There is also a wine-themed experience route, a marked hiking trail and viewpoints. When choosing where to stay, you can weigh up these different highlights: wine, architectural history or scenery.
Wine Route, Experience and Hike
The Velkopavlovická Wine Trail is 109 kilometres long, signposted and passes through 31 wine-growing communities. The number of communities shows that wine is a theme that extends beyond a visit to a single place. Signage and route conditions may change; check them before planning a trip.
The Zaječský Walking Circuit offers a different scale: it is six kilometres long and follows marked hiking trails throughout. Compared with the 109-kilometre wine trail, it is a much shorter route with a clearly specified distance. Check the circuit’s route locally for any changes.
Vinné kešky is an approximately two-hour wine-themed experience route through Zaječí, ending with a tasting of sacramental wine. Unlike the two trails, this option is described by its approximate duration; the tasting is also part of the route. Check the current booking and tasting arrangements in advance.
Church, Tours and Art
The Church of St John the Baptist has a late Gothic core dating from 1508 and features defensive elements. Its historical date and architectural features give the place a specific connection to architectural history. Together with the nearby wine trail, a stay here can also be shaped around cultural interests or wine.
Tours are offered in Zaječí of the church, its tower, underground rooms and parish gallery. The tour extends beyond the church interior. Check the current arrangements for visiting the tours before travelling.
The parish ART gallery displays works by painters, ceramic artists and jewellery designers. This provides another cultural highlight alongside the church’s architecture: paintings and crafted pieces in ceramics and jewellery. Check before travelling whether the gallery will be open during your visit.
Viewpoints and Scenery
The brick Dalibor observation tower is located in the Milovická pahorkatina hills southwest of Zaječí. It is 11 metres high and freely accessible year-round. Even so, check the latest access information before planning a visit.
The Chapel of St Florian stands on a prominent hill on the northern edge of the village. From the chapel, there are far-reaching views of the Novomlýnské Reservoirs and Pálava. Together with the observation tower to the southwest, it offers a different perspective on the landscape from the routes in the village: here, the location and the views take centre stage.
