Slavkov and Bučovice region
Day trips through the region where the history of Europe was written
In 1805, the Battle of the Three Emperors took place on the local fields. French, Russian and Austrian. But it was as if other nations were fighting with them for the rule over Europe. The whole world has known the name Austerlitz ever since. The region doesn't just have a turbulent wartime past. Cyclists and wine lovers love it here, and you can visit the castles in Slavkov and Bučovice and Europe's only parrot zoo. You can find Zen-like peace in the beautiful Ždánice Forest, where people go to see the largest concentration of butterflies in the country. A paradise not only for butterflies...
