During Easter, the historic town of Mikulov comes alive with traditional markets, local crafts, food and music. We'll explore the region on foot, discover its wine culture and enjoy a thermal bath experience across the border in Austria.

If you're an EU citizen, a valid national ID card or passport is sufficient for this trip. If you're travelling on a non-EU passport, please check your visa and entry requirements for the Czech Republic and Austria before booking.
Do I need to bring my own luggage, or will it be transported?
This is a backpacking trip, so no suitcases or trolleys. You'll carry your own backpack throughout the journey, as no luggage transportation is provided.
Hiking & preparation
How much walking should I expect each day?
This is a hiking trip, with approximately 20 km on each of the two hiking days. We'll have plenty of stops along the way, so there's no rush and no competition. The goal is to enjoy the journey!
Is the trip suitable for beginners?
The trip is suitable for beginners, provided you have the required fitness and stamina. If hiking 20 km is new to you, please contact us before booking so we can assess whether the trip is a good fit for you.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We're hiking anyway! Rain or shine, the adventure goes on, unless weather conditions become genuinely dangerous or pose a serious risk to participants. 🙂
What should I bring for the trip?
Bring comfortable hiking shoes or boots, layered clothing, a waterproof jacket, a reusable water bottle and everything you need for the spa (swimsuit, towel and flip-flops).
Pack light and bring a practical backpack, as you'll be carrying your belongings throughout the journey.
Group & experience
Can I join the trip alone?
Absolutely! Solo travellers are very welcome. It's a great opportunity to meet new people and share the experience.
How many people will join the trip?
The group is limited to a maximum of 5 participants. There's no minimum group size, so even if you're the only one booking, the trip will go ahead. We might end up exploring Moravia just the two of us!
