The Valtice Chateau was fairly impressive. We were surprise, but should not have been, to see a few tour groups; it is on the Czech Wine Region circuit.
It was cool, damp, and cloudy as we set up for Lednice on a well-marked,, multi-use trail. The whole area between Valtice and Lednice - 7 kms as the crow flies - is park-like with lakes, trails, trees, and some monuments.
A light rain brings out the umbrellas.
We stopped for lunch under this Arch.
Monument to St Hubertus.
The old stables.
The small train stop/station at the Lednice Lake. We sat here for 15 minutes and became mesmerized by the birds: swallows, ducks, chickadees, herons, and more;-)
The Lednice Chateau is very impressive collection of grounds, buildings, and gardens. There is even a English-style conservatory (greenhouse).
This evening, there was a beautiful sunset in Mikulov.
The distinctive one-column entrance arcades of some homes in the Jewish Quarter.

This is impressive. Love the pic with the carriage in the foreground.
John was rather proud of himself for catching that carriage.
As rightfully John should be. That is a picture postcard.
