Nový Šaldorf-Sedlešovice offers several specific reasons to visit: the wine cellars of Modré sklepy, cultural and historical landmarks, and wine cycling routes in the surrounding area. These themes appeal to different interests while also offering clues for planning your trip. When preparing your stay, it is worth first deciding whether cellar visits, local history or cycling will be your main focus.

Modré sklepy: Wine Cellars and Visiting Times

The Modré sklepy area covers 9 hectares and contains more than 180 wine cellars. The cellars are dug into sandstone with blue-grey clay layers. The sandstone and clay layers make their construction a specific point of interest alongside the wine itself. From May to November, at least one wine cellar in Nový Šaldorf is open to visitors every day. If you want to visit a particular cellar, check its opening hours before you travel.

Columns, Wooden Wine Press and Posvícení

A late Gothic column in Sedlešovice is designated a cultural monument. It was erected in the early 16th century in memory of a severe flood. Two other columns beside it bear the names of soldiers who fell in the First World War. Thus, two distinct commemorations meet in one place: the flood and the fallen soldiers.

The centre of the wine colony is also home to a historic wooden wine press dating from the 18th century. Unlike the columns, which commemorate events and people, the press points to wine production. It therefore provides a distinct focus alongside the memorials.

The traditional September Posvícení in Nový Šaldorf-Sedlešovice includes the raising of a maypole. The exact event dates may vary. So, if you want to plan your trip around the festival, check the date in advance.

Podyjí National Park and Wine Cycling Routes

Part of the municipal area of Nový Šaldorf-Sedlešovice lies within Podyjí National Park. Wine cycling routes in the surrounding area pass through the national park and local vineyards. These details have different scopes: the protected-area designation applies to part of the municipality, while the cycling routes are an activity in the surrounding area. For planning a bike ride, the national park and vineyards are the specific landscapes mentioned.

Plan Your Stay Around Your Main Interest

When choosing when to travel, it is worth distinguishing between the season and the event: from May to November, at least one wine cellar is open to visitors every day; Posvícení takes place in September, although the exact dates may vary. If your dates are flexible, the longer period gives you more options for visiting a cellar. A trip to Posvícení, by contrast, depends on the date of the festival. Your preferred focus can therefore determine your choice: a cellar visit during the season or a stay centred on a specific event date.
