On our last day trip outside of Prague, we visited Kutna Hora. One of the most famous tourist attractions in the Czech Republic is there; the Bone Church. When walking inside it looks like the set of a movie or an elaborate Halloween haunted house with skeletons as decoration. It’s hard to believe that they are real human bone. From the photos online, I thought the church would be smaller but instead it had fairly high ceilings and was not too dark. It was crowded with lots of tour groups walking in and out as well as people taking photos in front of all the skeletons, specifically the chandelier made out of every human bone.
There are over 40,000 bones in the Church. The church which is called The Sedlec Ossuaryand is located next to the Cemetany of All Saints. Of all the churches we have visited in the Czech Republic, I find this one to be the most interesting. I wonder if it serves any purpose other than a tourist destination for local Czech people.
While the churches and silver mines were big tourist spots, the town did not feel like it was run by tourists as Cesky Krumlov felt. There did not appear to be as many buses of people coming in and the spaces did not feel over crowded.
