Úvoz (Stránice) Street
The invasion is among the major streets of the wider centre of Brno and forms an important part of the central Brno circuit. Its central part lies in the districts of the Strážnice and Brno-město, the southern part passes to the historical Old Brno and the northern part reaches the district of Veverí. The street connects Mendlova and Final Square and represents one of the key transport axes that connects the западí and the eastern part of Brno.
She got her name from her geographical location. The street was founded in 1867 and leads by introduction - the valley between the designs of Špilberg and the Yellow Hill. The German original name Hohlweggasse accurately describes this field character. In 1902, however, the street was renamed Erzherzog-Rainer-Gasse, the Archduke Rainer Street, in honor of the Austrian archduke Rainer Ferdinand. This name did not capture its geographical origin at all, but reflected the political circumstances of the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy. After the creation of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1918, the street returned to the current name Úvoz, which means a return to the original principle of naming.
The decisive change came in the 1950s. Originally, Úvoz ended up in the north crossing with Groh. It was only during this period that an important breakthrough to the Final Square was built, which led through the side of the Cow Mountain. With this extension, Úvoz became one of the backbone north-south roads of Brno.
At present, the Úpraví serves intensive public transport. Since the 1990s, there have been two trolleybus lines following the Utah connecting the western and eastern parts of the city. The lines use a handling line that was built here before. On the crossing with the tram line towards Kraví hora there is a transfer stop Úvoz, which makes it easier for passengers to move between different types of public transport. In this way, the historic journey became one of the most important hubs of urban mobility.

Úvoz is one of the major streets in the wider centre of Brno. It connects Mendlovo and Konečného náměstí and forms the western section of the middle Brno ring road. It passes through several districts. The southern part lies in Staré Brno, the central part in Strániky and Brno-město, and the northern part in the Veveří district. All belong to the Brno-střed city district.
The street was created in 1867 and received its name according to its location. It led upward from Staré Brno through a hollow way between the hills of Špilberk and Žlutý kopec. Initially it was called Hohlweggasse in German and Úvozní in Czech. In 1902 it was renamed in honour of the Austrian Archduke Rainer Ferdinand to Erzherzog-Rainer-Gasse, that is Archduke Rainer Street. Since 1918 it has borne the name Úvoz, or Hohlweg in German.
Originally the street ended in the north at its intersection with Grohová. In the nineteen fifties a breakthrough was built to Konečného náměstí, which is cut into the slopes of Kraví hora from the west side. This made Úvoz one of the main north-south communication routes of the whole of Brno.
Since the nineteen nineties, a pair of trolleybus lines have run along Úvoz, connecting the western and eastern parts of the city. They use a shunting line that had run there before. Where the tram line to Kraví hora crosses the street, there is an interchange stop called Úvoz.
Tips for visitors
The best time to visit this location is spring or autumn, when the weather is mild and surrounding green on the surfaces of Špilberk, Yellow Hill and Kraví hora is gaining beauty. During these seasons there are also fewer tourists, which allows a quieter walk along the street Úvoz and surrounding paths.
Traffic availability is very good in the centre of Brno. The location is easily accessible by car and public transport; Please check the current connection and departure times in the search engine or information points.
Take comfortable walking shoes to this part of Brno, because the routes between the different surfaces may be slightly sloping. We also recommend you take enough drinks and light snacks if you plan to take a longer walk around, and in colder weather layer to drag. Sunglasses and hat are appreciated in the summer months when there is less shade on the run.
For photography is the best light in the morning or late afternoon when the sun shines at an angle and creates interesting shadows on the facades of buildings and in the street space. The best places for pictures are the crossroads with surrounding squares and views from the heights of the surrounding surfaces, which allow to capture the panorama of the city as well as the street Úvoz itself in the context of urban development.
In the immediate vicinity (within 30 minutes walk) you can go for a walk along Špilberk, Yellow Hill and Cow Mountain. These locations offer beautiful views and a natural environment that complements the historical nature of the centre. For families with children, this area is suitable thanks to the availability of green and possibilities to move, but it is necessary to ensure safety in street traffic and on the sloping terrain of the roof.

Imagine coming back 81 years until there were no cities or villages. It was a wilderness filled with forests and rivers. And here, on this hill was a castle that was like a rock in a storm. It was like a refuge from dangerous animals and wild monsters.
But who lived here? Who owned this castle? That was never certain. There was a legend that the castle was built by ancient people who were curious and wanted to know how the world worked. They performed mysterious rituals and prayers to the gods here.

Seasonal recommendations
In spring, this part of the city awakens to life with fresh air and the first flowering nearby. The light is fine and does not shine during this period, which is ideal for capturing historical details. We recommend wearing layered clothes, because the wounds may still be cold, although the afternoon will be pleasant. Visit the place in the morning when it is the most quiet and avoid the first summer wave of visitors.
The summer months bring intense sun and heat to the streets, reflected from the old stone facades. The atmosphere is very lively and dynamic, but it can be tiring due to high temperatures. For more pleasant experiences, come as early as possible in the morning to catch the shadow and avoid the biggest crowds. Don't forget your headgear, sun protection, and enough drinking water to keep the heat off.
Autumn season offers the most nostalgic atmosphere, especially when the streets are covered in morning fog. Golden and brown leaf colours in the surrounding designs create a wonderful contrast to historical architecture. It is advisable to prepare waterproof shoes and a warmer coat, because humidity and cold can be difficult. The best time for a walk is late afternoon, when the sun shines low and the colors work most markedly.
In winter time it is calmer here than ever because the streets are quiet and emptier. The short day and the cold wind determine the rhythm of the visit, while the light is very weak and gray. The need for quality winter clothes, including scarves and gloves, is not to spoil your experience. Due to early dimming, you should plan to visit in clear noon hours to see the details of the monument in daylight.
