The Šobes (German Schobes ) is a mountain spur in South Moravia in the Czech Republic . It rises north of Hnanice on the cadastre of the municipality Podmolí over the valley of the Thaya near the Czech-Austrian border in the national park Podyjí .
geography
The umflossene on three sides by a meander Thaya Šobes forms the southern end of the ridge Dlouhý les ( Langer Schobes ) with which it towards the north by a nearly 300 wide ridge is connected. The Šobes meander forms the core of Devět mlýnů ( nine mills ) Thaya section above. The east and west slopes drop steeply to the Thaya. The ridge, surrounded by the warm oak forest with thick oak mistletoe vegetation, offers a good view of the Thayatal. The so-called Römersteig, an early medieval trade route, runs across the ridge between Hnanice and Podmolí. Opposite the Šobes is the Devět mlýnů viewpoint near Hnanice. The southern slope, sloping gently towards the Thaya, has been cultivated as a vineyard since the Middle Ages .
Surrounding places are Popice and Havraníky in the east, Hnanice in the south, Karlslust in the west and Nová Ves and Podmolí in the northwest.
history
The Šobes was already settled during the Paleolithic . During the Bronze Age, there was a fortification on the Šobes, of which walls and moats have been preserved. Other finds come from the Celtic and Roman times.
The vineyard laid out on the southern slope by the Bruck monastery developed into one of the most important vineyards around Znojmo . Gregor Wolny described the wine from the Schobes Mountains in 1837 as the finest in the whole country . In the 19th century the Schobeswein was delivered to the Austrian imperial court and leading Viennese inns.
In the mid-1930s, a light bunker line of the Czechoslovak Wall was built around the Schobes .
After the Second World War, the mills Zemský mlýn, Westhoferův mlýn, Gruberův mlýn, Baštův or Judexův mlýn and Mlýn Papírna, all around the Šobes, died out, of which only ruins and the mill weirs have been preserved, as has the Hotel Gruber near Hnanice. After 1948 the Šobes was located directly on the restricted area of the " Iron Curtain ". After the Velvet Revolution in 1989, the restricted area was opened, which in 1991 was declared the Podyjí National Park . Almost every house in Podmolí has a share of the vineyard.
The 1995 sale of almost 7 hectares of the vineyard to the Znovín Znojmo winery was challenged in 2007 by the newly elected mayor Frélich. The declaratory action for nullity ultimately failed in August 2011 before the Constitutional Court. The subject of the negotiations was also the disuse of the national park from the right of first refusal.
Vineyard
The southern slope of the Šobes is used for agriculture on an area of 16 ha. In addition to the 11 hectare vineyard, there is also an apricot plantation on the slope. The location on the southern slope of the mountain spur around which the Thaya flows, protected from winds in the north-west and north-east by the hills above the Thayatal, results in a specific microclimate similar to that of the Rhine and Rhone valleys. The sun's rays lead to warming during the day, at night the river valley, from which fog moves into the vineyard, cools down and prevents dehydration. The acidic and rocky clay soil on the gneiss underground stores the sun's heat during the day. Mainly Riesling and Ruländer are grown .
