Meadows and birdsong

Unkovické louky is located close to Unkovice and offers walks through a meadow landscape accompanied by birdsong. Klínky borders the meadows, where nightingales can be heard singing. These two landscape features offer distinct highlights: Unkovické louky is known for its meadows and birdsong, while Klínky is associated with nightingales. If you would like to focus on birdsong during a walk, this distinction can help you plan your nature outing around a particular theme.

Cycling around Unkovice

The Brno–Vienna cycle route runs around Unkovice; check the current route locally before setting off. Older local visitor information lists the Jantarová stezka as a marked long-distance cycling route along the southern edge of Unkovice. Before setting off, check whether the markings are up to date. The two routes differ in location and character: the Brno–Vienna cycle route runs around the village, while the Jantarová stezka is listed as a long-distance route along its southern edge. This can help you decide whether the route’s location or its status as a long-distance route matters more for your plans.

Church and local traditions

The branch church of the Assumption of Mary in Unkovice was enlarged in 1767 by Jan z Ditrichštejna. There is a cross by the church. The year dates the enlargement, while the cross adds another local detail associated with the church. This provides two distinct points of interest in the village’s history: the structural change in 1767 and the cross by the church.

Babské hody is one of the local traditions; it includes traditional costumes, dancing and folk songs. The exact dates vary from year to year. If you are interested in this custom, check the date for your travel year before your trip so you can plan your stay around it.

Events and wine

Clubs and organizations in Unkovice hold numerous social events every year. Visitors from the surrounding area and further afield regularly attend. Individual events and their dates change. If a particular event is important to your trip, check its current date. The fact that events take place every year gives local club life a recurring character; the dates of individual events remain important for travel planning.

Local winemakers present their wines at wine exhibitions. For visitors interested in local products, these offer another cultural highlight alongside customs and events. The exhibitions focus on the winemakers’ wines.
