The cycling race builds on the rich history of the 1970s – 1980s, when the entire Czechoslovak top cyclists rode to Hlohovec for the spring nomination races at the Peace Race.
In 2011, thanks to the support of councillors from Hlohovec, locals and especially sponsors, this special tradition was restored and once again Hlohovec has become the “opener” of the cycling season, the first spring race in Bohemia and Moravia. It is not only a top sports event, but also a cultural and social event.
A Wine and half-fermented wine (burčák) festival, music, dance, entertainment, a costume show in the center of the royal town of Znojmo, knightly tournaments, a magnificent royal parade and fireworks.
The oldest, largest and most prestigious wine exhibition in the Czech Republic on the premises of the Valtice chateau, in which participate international exhibitors.
“Valtice cycling” is an event for all who like to relax while cycling, want to improve their racing results and enjoy a traditional glass of the fine half-fermented wine, “burčák” or other fine wines in the beautiful surroundings of Valtice.
