Lednice Travel
Lednice Travel - At the end of the 18th century, the local manor lordship -- the House of Liechtenstein -- began to create a unique manmade landscape complex: The Lednice -- Valtice Area. During the 19th century, the Liechtenstein family continued transforming the area, which has since been called the Garden of Europe, into a large landscape park with two centres:
Valtice Castle (and contiguous town)
Lednice Castle (and contiguous village)
In 1715 these two localities were connected by the so-called Bezruč Avenue. There is also one more village - Hlohovec. Between Lednice, Valtice and Hlohovec, the Lednice Ponds (Lednické rybníky) are situated, together with Mlýnský, Prostřední, Hlohovecký and Nesyt Ponds. A substantial part of the complex is covered with pines called the Pine wood (Boří les), and partially with a riparian forest adjacent to the River Dyje.
Except for above mentioned, there are a lot of bigger or smaller pavilions scattered throughout the whole complex, often serving as hunting lodges.:[1]
