Many of the world's greatest heritage attractions are distant, hard to get to, inaccessible and off the beaten track. Heritage sites in Central Europe are easy to reach, thanks to cultural density and the connectivity provided by the excellent network of paths for cyclists and uniquely marked trails for hikers.
In addition to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the traveller can find many beautiful mediaeval castles and chateaux, towns with Renaissance and Baroque palaces, remote picturesque villages, undulating vineyards and beautiful mountains.
Below you can find some of them.

LEDNICE - VALTICE AREA

The Lednice - Valtice area was added to UNESCO2s list of world cultural heritage sites in 1996. Measuring 200km2, it is one of the largest manmade landscape projects in Europe. It was created from the 17th to the 20th century on an estate belonging to the Liechtenstein family. Along with the Baroque chateau in Valtice and the neo-Gothic chateau in Lednice, the area also contains numerous other neo-classical follies set in countryside shaped employing the principles of 19th century landscaping. Sometimes called the ”Garden of Europe”, the Lednice - Valtice area stretches between two noble residences set in beautiful parkland, dotted with manmade lakes and follies. The idyllic Lednice Chateau is situated in extensive parkland on the banks of the River Dyje. The grounds of Lednice Chateau contain an early Baroque riding school, a mock minaret in the pseudo-Moorish style built by the architect Josef Hardtmuth and a glasshouse built to imitate the Winter Gardens in London. Valtice Chateau stands on the site of a late 12th-century castle which belonged to the Bishop of Passau. Over time, the Liechtensteins also created a beautiful landscape around the two chateaux. They had a row of trees planted to mark the route between their two residences creating one single area. This landscape gained its final appearance in the Romantic 19th century. Follies were constructed in the English style park such as Apollo2s Temple, the neo-classical Tři Grácie and a small castle marking the old border between Moravia and Austria. The landscape is enhanced with numerous lakes, parks and forests containing some rare species of tree. The Lednice - Valtice area is situated in a region also known for its wine.
