When choosing a destination, the routes can be compared by length, difficulty rating and scenery; there is also a cross-border cycling route and several cultural and historical points of interest. If you are looking for hotels in Hnanice, you can first check whether these highlights suit your planned stay.

Hiking and Cycling in Hnanice

The Hnanice–Šobes hiking trail starts at Hotel Vinice in Hnanice and is rated moderate. It passes vineyards, thermophilous oak forests, the Dyje River, rocky sections and heathland. The landscape is therefore as much a selection criterion as the moderate difficulty rating.

The Hnanice–Holy Stone circular trail starts and ends at the Church of St. Wolfgang in Hnanice; it is about 4.5 km long and rated easy. Devět mlýnů uses the same starting and ending point and is about 6.5 km long. This lets you choose between a shorter, easy-rated loop and a longer route from the same starting point. Trail conditions can vary; checking conditions before setting out can help with your planning.

Znovín Walking includes shorter circular trails of 6 to 12 km in the area around Šatov, Hnanice and Havraníky. They start at Hotel Happy Star in Hnanice. The longest options are longer than the approximately 6.5 km Devět mlýnů circular trail. The Thayatal National Park cycling route passes through Hnanice on its cross-border route, adding a cycling route to the hiking trails.

Choosing between the trails is not just a matter of distance: Hnanice–Šobes is defined by its moderate rating and scenic highlights, while the two circular trails at St. Wolfgang share the same starting and ending point but differ in length.

Church, Cultural Heritage and Wine

The Church of St. Wolfgang in Hnanice was solemnly consecrated on April 3, 1510; nine altars were consecrated at the same time. In the Chapel of St. Wolfgang, two large horseshoes hang on sturdy chains above a well surrounded by a stone enclosure. Thus, a precisely dated consecration and a distinctive feature of the chapel’s furnishings stand side by side.

Near Hnanice is the site known as Holy Stone; it probably served ritual and cult purposes as early as prehistoric times. The Sklepní ulička in Hnanice is one of the most original cellar lanes in the Znojmo wine-growing region. Here, a presumed prehistoric use and the architectural culture of wine-growing represent distinct historical connections.

The Vinařství Špetíci winery in Hnanice offers wine by the glass and guided tastings by prior arrangement. If a guided tasting is part of your plans, remember to make arrangements in advance.
