The reconstruction of the largest military encounter on Czech territory, the Prussian-Austrian Battle of Chlum near Hradec Králové in 1866, took place in Chlum at the weekend. The battle scene depicting the last attack was based on historical events, when Austrian troops attacked the hill near Chlum, which had already been taken by the Prussians.
