Discover Stošíkovice Na Louce

Stošíkovice Na Louce presents Moravian wine-growing and village culture in an unusually tangible combination with a river landscape. The U tří dubů wine-growing area belongs to the Moravian wine-growing region, the Znojemská wine-growing subregion and the wine-growing municipality of Stošíkovice na Louce. Anyone looking for a destination with more than just a familiar name, but also a clearly recognisable local character, will find several distinct themes here: cultivated orchards and vineyards, historic buildings in the village and the scientifically significant Jevišovka locality.

Vineyards, orchards and the U tří dubů area

Farma U tří dubů manages orchards and vineyards in Stošíkovice. Its U Tří dubů estate covers 150 hectares; 70 hectares are currently orchards and 40 hectares are vineyards.

The U tří dubů wine-growing area lies between orchards and vineyards near the Jevišovka and Skalička rivers. In addition, extensive orchards and vineyards stretch south and east of Stošíkovice na Louce. This creates a landscape that reveals itself from various viewpoints: the area connects the village’s wine-growing affiliation with the agriculturally shaped land surrounding the municipality.

Buildings with a clearly recognisable local connection

The village has a bell tower which, as a simple chapel in Neo-Gothic forms, is a defining building on the village square. Its historicist architecture is characterised by a Neo-Gothic pointed-arch entrance portal and a pilaster frame decorated with a sawtooth motif. These details in particular make the bell tower a place where the architectural form can be understood not only from a distance, but also through individual design elements.

A second prominent cultural landmark is the column with the sculptural group of the Holy Trinity. The Baroque composition is made of sandstone and limestone and stands on a tall Tuscan column. The date “ANNO / MDCCXXXI” is carved into the pedestal. The work therefore dates from 1731 and is regarded as an important art-historical work and cultural monument. It is also a dated example of sculptural and stone-carving craftsmanship. The statue of Saint John of Nepomuk also stands on the road to Bantice.

Paths, cycling and the Jevišovka

When choosing accommodation and planning your days, you should distinguish the local path situation carefully: neither a hiking trail nor a cycle path runs through Stošíkovice na Louce. However, Cycle Route No. 5008 (ZN) runs near the municipality’s territory. For a cycling trip, this provides a clearly described starting point, without attributing a continuous cycle or hiking trail to the village itself.

The Jevišovka adds a natural-science perspective. The locality is home to a regionally important population of the spined loach hybrid complex and is an important locality for macrophytes of flowing waters. The Jevišovka area comprises running waters from lowland areas up to mountainous locations. Aquatic plants from the Ranunculion fluitantis and Callitricho-Batrachion alliances occur there; the area also provides a habitat for spined loach. The river landscape thus complements the wine-growing and cultural themes with its own specialist natural-history aspect.
