For three centuries, from the 1500s to the 1800s, Mikulov was the seat of the Moravian regional rabbinate. World War II brought a very terrible end to Mikulov's Jewish community. Today Mikulov is Moravia's center for white wine production. where used to be the strongest Jewish community and if you still have energy, a cup of coffee at the foothills of the nearby PALAVA HILLS - which is Biosphere Reserve thanks to its unique fauna and flora.
