Long story short - in April I will be with a small group of defence journalists in Vienna, Prague and Brno and have volunteered to prepare a 20-30 minute illustrated lecture on Austerlitz and orient the chaps on a brief visit to the battlefield.

The lecture and illustrations are no problem from my own resources, though I would be interested in the views of anybody who has specialist knowledge as to what are the essential components of the campaign and battle I should not leave out.

My real question though is aimed at people who have been to the battlefield. What facilities are available there and how well preserved is it? Are there specific things to be aware and/or wary of? Is it easy to orient oneself to the field (as it is at Waterloo despite the changes etc.)?

Any advice or guidance to online resources I might find helpful much appreciated.
