Hails at Lipany

Not only did a few dozen swordsmen decide to go on a rampage at this year’s Battle of Lipany, but also the weather decided to be crazy. It has begun with really hot summer temperatures, when almost everyone tried to stay in shades and drink a lot of fluids. But that wasn’t enough; exactly when the battle was supposed to start the heavens opened and a couple tons of water and even hail fell on us.

Next year will be the 580th anniversary of the battle of Lipany, so everyone is expecting that the next year’s reenactment will be much bigger than this year. But even when it isn’t a rounded number it can still be good. All of it, the battle, the historical encampment and everything else was worth visiting. We can even say that this year’s event was preparing visitors for the next, more funded battle.

This years’ Battle of Lipany was only the third one. I have not even heard of its first year and last year at that time I enjoyed the pleasures of pneumonia, so this time was my first.
