Jolly people, great local wine and food, stunning patterns of long rolling fields and vineyards.
No wonder South Moravia is often called the Moravian Tuscany. The resemblance is uncanny. Just you find out through your own lens.
Shooting from the opposite hills with a telephoto lens to give the photographs a unique and dynamic perspective, you will be able to capture the fleeting moments of these locations because the rolling fields are continuously cultivated and the patterns never stay the same.
Tour Itinerary
Explore the beauty of Moravian fields!
Day 1 / South Moravia
The chapel
Getting off to a good start, the tour will have us chase after this beautiful chapel hiding in the shade of old trees. We just need to wait out the day in Moravia until sunset. A win win situation, just you wait.
Day 2 / South Moravia
Sentinel trees
The second target of our day one. This cluster of trees is a gathering spot for a lot of wildlife, be it deer, hares or pheasants. The sunset here is just pure magic, with the rolling fields and the ever-changing play of shadows.
Day 2 / South Moravia
Wildlife hideouts
As the sun rises, we definitely cannot miss the wildlife hideouts intended as shelter for animals. These strips of habitat niches in the fields make for a quite unique landscape feature worth capturing.
During the day we’ll make it to Mikulov - set among vineyards, this beautiful town is a display of scenic historical streets, good food and local wines with a famous chateau standing guard on the hill top. While in Mikulov, we’ll aso dive into post production, focusing on Lightroom & Photoshop skills.
Day 3 / South Moravia
Chestnut tree alley
Sunset will belong to this quintet of chestnut trees standing majestically in the rolling fields. Impressive from up close, their sight becomes even more appealing from greater distance.
Day 4 / South Moravia
Šardice grove
We’ll be saying our goodbyes to Moravia in Šardice. The grove’s majesty will stand out against the fields basking in the sunrise.
