Culture

Veteran Car Club Tachlovice was founded in 1960.[4] Since 1976, it organizes a veteran cars exhibition and contest called Tachlovice Triangle. It is held once a year in memory of the founder Jan Horák. Vehicles manufactured until the 1970s are displayed near the village common and some of them later compete driving on the triangle route.[5]
