Tabor, the Hussite city

The small town of Tabor was once a serious stronghold of the Hussite movement.

The word "tabor" is translated from Czech as "camp". Where lived irreconcilable Hussites led by the commander - Jan Zhizhka. Having built an impregnable fortress for themselves, the Hussites allowed inside only those who were able to fight bravely and readily threw all their property in the form of money and valuables into the “common cash register”. All this good was then fairly distributed among the inhabitants of the city.

Hussite weapons were made from everything that was at hand. From the pitchforks, a trident was composed, rakes were transformed into a mace, carts were turned over and a square was put - here you have the first armored personnel carrier. Arsenal was located underground - in intricate labyrinths. Food and beer were also stored there.

In Tabor still remained Hussite dungeons, and their weapons, much of which was the know-how of the time. And the spirit of the Hussites is clearly felt in this city among the narrow streets paved with cobblestones.

The city hides a lot of interesting, different stories, unique architecture, reminiscent of Czech Krumlov, but without people. Boys, men and boys will especially like it (there are so many medieval weapons!). There's so much about war!! And if you want to see something "unbeaten" - go to Tabor.
