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.

Sentinel Trees

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.

Vineyard Queen

In the vineyard's artistic dance, a cherry tree reigns, an iconic masterpiece of shapes.

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.

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.

Vineyards

Unlock the enchanting allure of Moravia Tuscany, where vine-laden vistas paint a breathtaking tapestry of endless beauty.

Field Groves

Awakening to the sun's embrace, behold the grove's majestic grace amidst golden fields.

Windmills

Embrace the windswept charm of South Moravia's expansive canvas, where graceful windmills adorn the picturesque countryside, begging to be captured in all their scenic splendor.

Abstract Shapes

Capture nature's abstract symphony through your lens in the picture-perfect playground of South Moravia.

Wine Tasting Dinner

Our traditionally popular offer includes an all-evening programme in a wine cellar with wine tasting, regional specialities and folk music.

Prague Add-On

We will close our tour with a delightful bonus: an unforgettable rendezvous with the enchanting 'City of Hundred Spires,' Prague, where we'll bask in the beauty of our final sunset and sunrise photo sessions.

Any Questions First?

Digital camera (i.e. DSLR or mirrorless camera) with wide angle lenses and telephoto lenses - you will need at least 200mm focal length, anything “longer” than that will give you more options and flexibility on the visited locations. Sturdy and stable tripod is a MUST and a remote shutter release for tack sharp pictures. Neutral density and polarizer filters (if you have any) will come in handy, too.
We strongly recommend you pack up some waterproof hiking boots and waterproof clothing with you. Make sure to pack up some warm clothing. It can get real freezing cold, especially in the mornings.
South Moravia consists of simple terrain, easily approachable from the car, typically only a few-hundred-meter walk on a dirt road or a field.
We prioritize the comfort of our guests and therefore all of our tours are designed for single occupancy.
