Hvězda Game Reserve

On the weekend of September 20-21, 2025, the Bílá hora will once again turn into a huge battlefield. Spectators will see a reconstruction of the historical event that became a turning point for the Czech lands in 1620. The clash between the armies of the Bohemian Estates on the one hand and the combined armies of the Catholic League and the Imperial Army on the other. Hundreds of soldiers from all over Europe, artillerymen or horse riders - all of them will come to Prague to take part in the largest reconstruction of a battle from the Thirty Years' War on our territory. Pyrotechnic effects and cannon shots will cross the battlefield.

The venue will be Bělohorská plain near the Hvězda game preserve. Both days the gates will open at 12 o’clock. The battle will start at 3 pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Tickets can only be purchased at the official entrance.

The event will also feature a historical marketplace and an accompanying program for children and adults (fencing shows, troop training, firearms interpretation, jugglers, musical performances and more).

The reconstruction of the Bitva na Bílé hoře (Battle of White Mountain) is organised by sdruření Bílá hora 1620 and is one of the largest events of its kind in Europe. The battle will be recreated to resemble the real historical event as closely as possible. “The two-hour battle was rather a skirmish due to its fast course, but it decided the fate of the entire Estates uprising and decisively influenced the fate of the Czech state for the next 300 years. As a result, all people had to convert to the Catholic faith or leave Bohemia. Many people fled across the border and 27 Czech lords ended up on the scaffold. We are trying to show the battle in a way that resembles the real historical event as much as possible,” says Martin Cholinský, the organiser of the event.
