Tuesday, 26 April 2011. We followed the path beyond the buildings, eventually leading downhill to the small church overlooking the village of Augezd, an the site of the famous Satschen ponds. At the end of the battle the allied army retreated over the frozen ponds. Napoleon positioned a battery of artillery near this church and ordered it to fire on the ice. He claimed in his Bulletin that 20,000 allied troops had drowned here. Labels: 09 - Aspern and Austerlitz. Tuesday, 19 April 2011. We were fortunate...

Walking Napoleonic Battlefields: February 2011
http://walkingnapoleonicbattlefields.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 22 February 2011. We were delighted to discover that our hotel in Aspern was within 100 yards of the famous church, and only about a mile to Lobau Island. Our bikes were not ready when we arrived at the hotel, so we set off to explore Lobau Island on foot. It was a very hot afternoon, and we were quite warm and glowing by the time we arrived. Poor Jan did not know where to look. We drank our beer and left in haste. Labels: 09 - Aspern and Austerlitz. Wednesday, 16 February 2011. Our first visit ...
