The beauty of the landscape is underlined by the water sheet of the Vranovska prehrada water-reservoir with magnificent castles and the national park Thayatal (Podyji) - a deep valley of the Dyje river with Austrian borders on both sides from Vranov nad Dyji to Znojmo.

Dam Vranovska prehrada is the largest water-reservoir on the Dyje river and among all it is a far-famed recreation area. This reservoir is one of warmest in Czech Republic. That’s why it is called ”the Moravian Adriatic”.

The area is noted for extraordinary natural scenery created by rocks, meander, ravines but even meadows along the Dyje river and shiny wood-steppes. The characteristic feature is the variety and the high concentration vegetable and animal breeds.
