Hiking in the Pálava Hills
—For a perfect half-day hike, follow
the green-marked trail from the church past Pension a Restaurace
Florián, then up through the beech woods to the ruined castle (1.5
miles, 45 min). Continue on the ridge, on the red-marked trail, to
the highest point of the hills, called Děvín (60 min). Descend on
the other side of the mountain to Klentnice. From here, you can
return to Pavlov either along the blue-marked trail through the
woods on the western slopes of the Pálava Hills, or along the edu-
cational winemaking route (marked by white signs with diagonal
green stripes) through the vineyards east of the hills.
SlEEPING
During hot summer months and in September, getting a room on
short notice can be difficult—book ahead.
$$
Hotel Iris,
part of a Czech chain, is the only real hotel
in the village. Its 22 rooms are relatively expensive, but it's a suit-
able fallback if the pensions (next page) are full. The standardized
experience comes with TV, a sauna, and a fitness center. The ease
of communication in English might make up for the lack of village
