Cyril and Methodius Trail: Holíč – Hodonín

This stage of the Cyril and Methodius trail leads around the Holíč Castle, which was once a wooden guard castle on the Moravian-Hungarian border. The late Baroque appearance of Holíč Castle is the result of the reconstruction of a Renaissance anti-Turkish fortress into a representative summer residence of the imperial Habsburg family. Another interesting stop is the Duckery, which today serves as a museum. It stands near the Church of Saint Margaret of Antioch. Its first construction phase is dated to the 9th to 10th century, so it is likely to have Great Moravian origins. From there, the blue footbridge will lead us to the Great Moravia Footbridge and subsequently to the Slavic stronghold of Mikulčice. Following the green trail, we will then reach Hodonín.
