Kutńa Hora
Bone church
October 24, 2004
We got off the train from Krakow in Kolín and quickly and easily got a train to
Kutná Hora, arriving at about 7:30am or perhaps a touch sooner, just in time to
see the sun rise as the horizon brightened with pinks, purples, and blues as the
ground was covered in a fog.
We walked around town for awhile, grabbed some food, which we proudly ordered in
Czech and ate on our way out of town. We stopped at Sedec Ossuary, the motivation
for our stop, to see the church decorated with the bones of 40,000 people. The chandelier
and coat of arms were especially impressive.
