Hiking

The Znojmo Gate, also known colloquially as the Fire Tower, is still the northern entrance to the city today. It dates back to the 13th century and was given its current form in the post-Hussite period after 1425. The water for the spring, the water extraction point for the citizens, was channeled around 2 km away. The Znojmo Gate was extensively restored in 2012. The clearly visible toll window indicates the toll revenues - along with the wine trading privileges, these were the basis of the city's former wealth.
