The Kutná Hora Experience

Today we took a side trip to Kutná Hora. If you've never heard of Kutná Hora, then there are a few things you need to know about it. First, it is on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites (see http://www.kutnahora.cz/index.php?sec=2&cid=97). It is home to several impressive sites including:

Saint Barbara's Cathedral,



The Italian Court, and







The Cemetery Chapel with Ossuary (also known as the "Bone Church")

Yes, that's Ethan standing under a chandelier made with human bones (using every bone in the body)







Kutná Hora is an unassuming town despite its UNESCO designation and treasures. Locally, tourism hasn't altered the community much, at least yet.
