The way to explore eastern Moravia can be both non-traditional yet still on the other hand traditional.
A unique water passage connects a calm cruise with the inspection of wine cellars, cycling through protected landscape areas as well as a trip to visit historical monuments. Currently, it is even possible to cross the border crossing and get by boat to the port in Slovakia´s Skalice. Bata´s canal is a technical sight that connects sixty kilometres of the area between Otrokovice (so you can not find Baťa’s canal in Zlin) and Sudoměřice. It was built in 1938 for the purpose of irrigating the Moravian Slovácko area and to transport brown coal for Bata´s factories in Zlín. The cruises continued up till 1945 then the canal was destroyed by the war and later on rebuilt again. The last boat to cruise the canal was in 1961. It re-opened to tourists thirty-five years later.
