Christmas tree transport

Bílovice nad Svitavou - Brno
The Christmas Tree of the Republic has been an indispensable symbol of Christmas in Brno since 1924. It was first erected on Liberty Square at the instigation of writer Rudolf Těsnohlídek and became the first public Christmas tree in the country. It came from the Bílovice forest where a little girl was left in the snow and found in 1919, and the writer and his friends rescued her.
This year, this tree celebrates its 102nd anniversary and will once again be brought to Brno from Bílovice nad Svitavou. It will be on November 21st. Come to Bílovice nad Svitavou to bid farewell to the tree on its journey, or meet it on the route during transport, or welcome it in Brno on Svoboda Square.
