By Historic Railcar to Lednice

Set out on a journey on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays aboard a historic 1950s railcar to Lednice and its beautiful world of parks, gardens, lakes and forests of the Lednice-Valtice Area.

Again in 2011, trains with a historic 1950s railcar will operate regularly on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays between Brno, Břeclav and Lednice. Weekend trains to Lednice will operate from 16 April until 25 September. The line from Břeclav to Lednice runs through the romantic landscape of the Garden of Europe. In Lednice there is a neo-gothic chateau with a tropical greenhouse as well as a garden with a minaret and falconry training. Between Lednice and Valtice there is a beautiful world of parks, gardens, lakes and forests, accentuated by a variety of small structures ranging from manors to chapels to colonnades to an artificial ruin. The Lednice-Valtice Area is the most extensive landscape system in Europe, and in 1996 it was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites.

“Regular operations”
As part of its regular operations, the railcar will depart Brno in the morning for Břeclav and Lednice, and in the early evening it will return from Lednice and Břeclav to Brno. During the day the train will make another two trips from Lednice to Břeclav and return. For all of these trains there will be a special, so-called “global” fare; neither the regular ČD tariff nor ČD extra-tariff benefits will apply.

Fare (children 6-15 years of age and pensioners receive a 50% discount, ZTP and ZTP/P cardholders receive a 75% discount)
Brno hl.n. – Břeclav CZK 80 one direction, CZK 140 return
Brno hl.n. – Lednice CZK 90 one direction, CZK 165 return
Břeclav – Lednice CZK 30 one direction, CZK 45 return

We recommend an excursion to holders of Family Passes. A child will travel free of charge on Sundays with the holder of a Family Pass upon presentation of the discount coupon! On the morning train from Brno to Lednice and in the early evening from Lednice to Brno, capacity to transport 20 bicycles will be offered FREE OF CHARGE.

In the Břeclav – Lednice segment, trains stop at all stations and stops.

“Train on demand”
If you want to travel in a railcar from Brno via Břeclav to Lednice on a different day, especially on a workday during the season of school excursions, you can use the “train on demand” service. This train can depart at any time except for weekends from 16 April through 25 September, when there is regular train service on the line. The train will be operated on demand. Interested parties must purchase at least 40 return tickets per the fare schedule for regular operations including discounts.
