Wafer Roll Festival in Hořice

Wafer rolls have been baked in Hořice since 1812, when supposedly Napoleon’s cook told a local townsman the recipe for the emperor’s favorite delicacy as a reward for treating his wounds. You can enjoy these crisp wafers, either topped or filled with sweet cream, at this gourmet festival with a complete cultural program. Of course, there will be curious contests such as drinking beer with the wafer or the wafer with the longest fold.
