The last battle of Libušín
It was here for a very long time; for twenty eight years. Out of these twenty eight, I’ve witnessed it seven times ( 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and finally 2019). It must be said it has a permanent place in my memory, and not only in mine: there are many others.

St. Wenceslas Shooters Festival
Let me say that I‘d never heard of this event before and was invited to document it as a bonus to the Battle of Lipany. I got a phone call asking me to come to Lipany in the beginning of spring and when I agreed I was also invited here – to a competition of historical crossbowmen. A pretty rare event in Europe.

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.

Twenty-fifth Battle of Libušín
A quarter of a century is a long time. An annual event that lasts for that long is probably worth it; and I dare to say it is indeed true. The twenty-fifth Battle of Libušín was worth it. I’ve seen the last five of them and I believe this one was not only the biggest but also the most spectacular and with the best pyrotechnical effects I’ve ever seen at a historical festival.

Sion castle
It should have been the fourteenth Battle for ford, but the nature was against it – a big flood came and everything that surrounds the ford went soggy. The event was cancelled and I thought I will have a free weekend. Well, that was the first impression, about a month ago, but the situation has since changed. There was another event coming as a replacement, set to the end of the Hussite wars – The Conquest of the castle Sion.
