From April 30 to May 3, 2011 Ukrainian town of Khotyn (Chernovtsy oblast) was the home of the second international festival of historical reconstruction of the Middle Ages under the title “Battle of the Nations”.
The main goal of the festival was to demonstrate the historical reconstruction of the Middle Ages and organize various fights and competitions. One of the most interesting parts was the reconstruction of the habits and life of the Middle Ages.

Also any information about local hotels is appreciated.
