Welcome to my web page
www. Austerlitz-Battlefield.com
This is a "sister site" to another web page www.BRNOguide.org which I run and where I offer various trips in the Czech Republic, (YouTube) mostly around BRNO (here is a LINK to a 30 minute video about BRNO made by Czech American TV).
This web page offers a trip to map the Napoleon's footsteps at the victorious Battle of Austerlitz, also called Battle of Three Emperors.
On this 5 to 7 hour trip you can see not only the rolling hills - the area where Napoleon won the Austerlitz Battle in 1805., but also places associated with this battle, like Santon Hill, Zuran Hill, Pratzen Heights, the Austerlitz Chateau, Cairn of Peace and for Napoleonic experts more sites, e.g. Sokolnitz Chateau and village Telnitz / in Czech Sokolnice and Telnice) and upon your request other important places.
The battlefield is only about 25 km east of Brno, (see the Itinerary and location of the trip on the map here), however, there is no bus connection from Brno which takes you to all the places associated with this battle and therefore I will be more than happy to guide you there. Just hop in my VW Station wagon / minivan for a bigger group with me and off we go. Feel free to check some souvenirs = tin soldiers.
You can easily come to BRNO from Prague or Vienna either by bus or by train. Please check the timetable in English and I will be happy to pick you up in BRNO.
