Vlčnov Embodies the Riches and Preservation of Moravian Slovak Traditions

By way of introduction, let us briefly present a town situated in a basin below the White Carpathian Mountains (Bílé Karpaty). The town of Vlčnov has retained its remarkable cultural riches of folk traditions that used to be an everyday part of life in Moravian Slovakia.

The traditional Ride of the Kings - whose roots run back farther in history than the written records of European nations - has maintained the original form of custom practised only here in Vlčnov. The wine growing tradition of several centuries, preserved artefacts of folk architecture, and the beauty of local folk costumes remain a valuable source of inspiration for numerous artistic renderings. Local and unusual cultural riches aptly combine with the harmonious nature and landscape of the Vlčnov basin, which is protected under both Czech and EU law.

The well-preserved cultural riches, especially sumptuous folk costumes and the king's ride tradition, have made Vlčnov famous all over the world and contributed to the successful presentation of the Czech Republic on all continents except for the Antarctic. Vlčnov will welcome you cordially. So, welcome to Vlčnov!
