Pavlov is one of those places where you can come for two days and feel like you've been away for much longer. The combination of vineyards, views, peaceful atmosphere and good wine works surprisingly quickly.


And a weekend is the ideal length of stay. You can enjoy nature, trips, good food, and moments when you don't need to do anything at all.

If you are wondering how to make the most of two days in Pálava, here is some inspiration for a relaxing weekend plan.


View over Pavlov and the vineyards in Pálava

Day 1: Nature and wine


Morning: Hike to the Děvička ruins


The first day is ideal to start with some exercise. The hike to the Děvičky ruins is one of the most famous trails in Pálava and offers beautiful views of the Novomlýn reservoirs, vineyards and the surrounding landscape.


In spring and early summer, the route is most pleasant in the morning, when it is not too hot and the surroundings seem calmer.

Noon: Mikulov and lunch in the center


After returning from a trip, it is ideal to drive to Mikulov. The historic center has a completely different atmosphere than larger tourist towns - it seems calmer and more natural.


For lunch, one of the local restaurants with Moravian or modern cuisine is suitable, and after the meal it is worth walking around the square, around the castle, or climbing the Holy Hill.

Afternoon: Lednice or Novomłynské reservoirs


The afternoon program depends mainly on the mood.


On the other hand, if you want to continue your trips, Lednice is a great choice. The castle grounds, park and surrounding trails are among the most beautiful places in South Moravia.

Early evening: Walk through Pavlov


The evening is the perfect time to return to Pavlov. It is in the early evening that the village has its most beautiful atmosphere – fewer people, quieter streets, and light that gives the vineyards a completely different character.


It's the perfect time to take a walk without a destination, stop for a drink, or just sit and enjoy the view.



Dinner at the winery


The first day in Pálava should ideally end with good wine and a leisurely dinner.


In the vicinity of Pavlov you will find several wineries and restaurants where you can sit down without rushing and taste local wines right where they are made. And this is often the best part of the whole day.

Day 2: Trip around the area


Slower morning and coffee with a view


The second day in Pálava deserves a more leisurely pace. After an evening at the winery, there is no need to get up early or plan a demanding program.


It's ideal to start with a leisurely breakfast or coffee in one of the cafes around Mikulov or Pavlov and let the morning flow a little more without plans. This is what is best on weekend stays.



Orphanage and Klentnice


If you feel like taking another trip, the area around Klentnice and Sirotčí hrádek is a great choice. Compared to Děvín, this part of Pálava tends to be quieter.


The route is not very long, but it offers beautiful views of the vineyards and the surrounding landscape.

Tip for accommodation in Pavlov


Where you stay plays a big role in your weekend in Pálava. It's ideal to have a quiet location where everything is close by - vineyards, trips and evening gatherings.


Pavlov offers a combination of nature, wine and a relaxed atmosphere that works best when there is nothing complicated to deal with. And if the accommodation is comfortable enough and offers space to relax, the whole weekend feels much more natural.


If the idea of a weekend in Pálava appeals to you, it's worth planning your stay in advance. Spring and early summer are among the most beautiful times when you can enjoy Pavlov in a calmer atmosphere - and with comfortable accommodation, the whole weekend will be even more enjoyable.
