Peak of Žuráň

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

Žuráň is and important as tumulus of ancient Germanic high aristocracy of Moravia (probably from 5th and 6th century) and a rich archaeological site, and therefore it is declared to be a cultural monument. According to historian Josef Poulík [cs] king Wacho was buried there, but later historians are not certain about identity of buried people).

The hill is also famous because on 2 December 1805 Napoleon Bonaparte led his battle of Austerlitz from its peak. Therefore, peak of Žuráň was proclaimed to be extraterritoriality of France.[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.
