An elegant beauty made of wood and steel, the "Sun Tower" is its translated name. Its charming design resembles a vineyard bush, perfectly fitting the essence of this wine-centric region.
In the picturesque wine region near Velké Pavlovice, don't miss the opportunity to visit the Sun Tower. Standing almost 19 meters tall, it offers breathtaking views of the surroundings. You can reach it through a pleasant stroll amidst vineyards and the Nadzahrady wine trail, branching off from the road connecting the wine villages of Velké Pavlovice and Bořetice.
Ascend to the top via a steel spiral staircase with 75 steps, elevating you to a height of 15 meters. From here, you'll be treated to vistas of the wine villages of Modré hory (Blue Mountains) and the Lednice-Valtice area. Gazing westward, you'll see Velké Pavlovice and beyond them, the Nové Mlýny Dam. On a clear day, you can even glimpse our neighbors - the Slovak town of Senica and Austria's capital, Vienna. Panoramic maps will aid you in identifying the landmarks.
Feeling a bit tired from the ascent? Treat yourself to a refreshment at two buildings designed to resemble typical South Moravian wine cellars. They house a kiosk offering light refreshments, a souvenir shop, and a stamping station. A perfect retreat for a perfect excursion.
