The annual Erazmus Knight’s Tournament festival at the picturesque Predjamski Castle, near Postojna offers visitors a window into the past in the Middle Ages – in 16th century through jousting and sword fighting competitions. There is a medieval market and other events featuring people in period dress, as well as period food, song and dance.
Knights, swordsmen and archers show their skills on the field of Combat. The ’star’ and the historic character are knight Erasmus who was the famous inhabitant of the castle and his friend Andreas Baumkircher who protected Vienna from the Turks in that time. Throughout the day people are dressed in the costumes of the 16th century.
How nice to see the tournament! There is an annual jousting tournament at Eltham palace too but I haven’t caught it yet. I like your video!
There is a video of the mounted jousting too, but could I find it to include in this post! Sadly no…
I love it when to put up a show like that. Ginnie and I saw a nice show at the ‘Roman Village’ very impressive
I am almost tempted to go back in July to see the jousting at Predjama Castle
Field or track?
Did the Knights of Old have that sort of thing?
This is the right place to film Monty Python and the Holy Grail!
It would work
i enjoyed the battle Cherie… your framing od the village and the slope of the hill is great….peter:)
Thanks Peter
The video still complements the jousting field. It is looking back on the castle from the field 
It looks to be the only level bit on the hillside, Cherie
It looks like it has been leveled for the purpose
Looks like they were having fun. These re-enactments can be a bit tame but I suppose you really can’t have anyone’s head being bashed in!
The re-enactments are choreographed so it depends on the skill of the actors as to how the display comes across
