Early morning light slides across the Dyje (Thaya) like a slow brushstroke, and a single paddleboard cuts a clean line along reed-fringed water. Paddlers launch near the Nové Mlýny reservoirs, where open water gives way to the narrower river corridor that will carry you toward the historic estate at Lednice.

Early morning light slides across the Dyje (Thaya) like a slow brushstroke, and a single paddleboard cuts a clean line along reed-fringed water. Paddlers launch near the Nové Mlýny reservoirs, where open water gives way to the narrower river corridor that will carry you toward the historic estate at Lednice.
This route threads South Moravia’s low-lying floodplain—geologically young river sediments, oxbow channels, and gravel bars shaped during post-glacial floods. The landscape is as much cultural as natural: vineyards and small villages trade views with the Lednice–Valtice Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO-modified parkland that reflects centuries of estate management by the Liechtenstein family.
On the water you’ll feel the current nudge you downstream; tributaries and sluices offer quiet pockets where bitterns and kingfishers hunt. Guides usually split the trip into a short training session, a one-hour paddle to Bulhary to regroup, then a longer three-hour stretch into Lednice, ending at village docks close to restaurants and the Chateau.
Practicalities: expect about 5 hours total door-to-door, with roughly 4 hours of on-water time. Boards and waterproof bags are provided; basic balance and mobility suffice—this trip is rated easy and welcomes beginners. Bring layered clothing, water, and a dry bag for valuables. Timing matters: launch on calm mornings for the smoothest water and best light for photos. Respect nesting birds and stay within mapped channels—guides will brief you on local flow and safe landing points.
This paddle is equal parts gentle exercise and low-slung exploration: the river guides the pace, and the region’s mix of nature and history rewards a steady, observant glide.
