Blue mountains
The 31 km long cycling and walking trail of the Blue Mountains is a touristic part of the wine project, which was created by Professor Vilém Kraus. He put his faith in the region, whose wine-growing hillsides are given the blue color of summer mornings and grape berries in autumn, in the following sentences:
“The five-star group of Moravian wine-growing villages, led by the town of Velké Pavlovice, has long been known for its red wines from hillside vineyard locations spread out in a circuit in the undulating landscape. The “hand” open to the flat south is like a calloused palm, from which emerge five active and creative fingers that modeled slopes in the vicinity of human settlements into the shape of fields, orchards, vineyards and forests. A random pilgrim walks through these imaginary fingers and syllabifies their names, as if reading the joy of the touch of a child’s hand: Velké Pavlovice, Němčičky, Bořetice, Kobylí and the highest placed Vrbice.”
