Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape (Lednicko-valtický areál) is in South Moravia, Czech Republic, near the Austrian and Slovakian border. It is truly a cultural landscape - you can find numerous historical and natural sights here. The areal somehow resembles a very large garden with numerous decorations (including two large chateaux) build mostly in Romanticism architecture style.
