The Pavlov Hills in southern Moravia on the Austrian border are limestone hills in the Pálava Protected Landscape Area (declared 19 March 1976, 83 km², highest point Děvín at 550 m), a UNESCO biosphere reserve since 1986, extended in 2003 to include the Lednice–Valtice Cultural Landscape. Climbing is in two groups of crags – Skupina Trůnu and Martinka with Obří kámen.
