The Battle of White Mountain (Bílá Hora) was one of the most significant events in Czech history. Fought in 1620 during the Thirty Years' War, the battle ended the Bohemian Revolt and dramatically changed the political and religious direction of the Czech lands for centuries. Today the battlefield lies on the edge of Prague and has been transformed into a peaceful area with memorials, walking paths and historic landmarks. It is an ideal destination for travellers who want to combine a city visit with a quieter outdoor history walk.
