- Category: Czech History
This Saturday 28/11 sees the reenactment of the battle of Austerlitz (or the Three Emperors) just outside Brno.Napoleon's finest hour. Hundreds if not thousands of reenacters from all over Europe complete with 80 horses this year take part in various skirmishes over Saturday. If you haven't been before it's well worth seeing and a drop or two of Slivovice will keep out the cold :) In the late afternoon Napoleon himself arrives in triumph at a floodlit Slavkov Chateau.

Bus 702 from Uzka street (between Tesco and Vankovka)to bus stop Rohlenka will take you near to the scene of the action. A crowd of around 10,000 is expected so you can't miss it. :D This Saturday 28/11 sees the reenactment of the battle of Austerlitz (or the Three Emperors) just outside Brno.Napoleon's finest hour.
