Žuráň

Žuráň is a small hill (286 metres) near the village of Podolí in the Czech Republic.

Žuráň is a site of considerable archaeological importance , since it features a tumulus in which lie buried members of the ancient Germanic high aristocracy of Moravia (probably from 5th and 6th century), and therefore it is declared to be a cultural monument.

The hill is also famous because on 2 December 1805 Napoleon Bonaparte led his battle of Austerlitz from its peak.

[citation needed] At the peak of the hill there is a small memorial of battle (with a map of battlefield) and also flags of all nations fighting in the battle.
