This tour combines countryside hiking, regional history, and local legends in one compact experience just outside Brno.
Unlike standard city tours, we visit the Marian pilgrimage site, the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Vranov u Brna, follow a gentle scenic route along the wooded ridge of Babí lom, and conclude the walk in Lelekovice. The route offers panoramic views, distinctive geological formations, sacred architecture, and excellent photo opportunities within easy reach of the city.
The small group size ensures a personal approach. The pace is adjusted to participants. The guide provides historical context, architectural insight, and regional stories not commonly found in guidebooks.
The experience is structured yet flexible. Details are coordinated in advance, and the return to Brno is tailored to individual needs. Travelers gain a deeper understanding of the region beyond the city center.
We will meet all participants in front of the main entrance of Grandhotel Brno. A few days before the tour we will contact participants by phone to confirm the exact meeting time and arrival details. We will coordinate precise arrangements to ensure no one is missed.
