It was quite a unique experience, there are 9 bone chapels in Europe. It has a great history behind it. The church is decorated with bones and skulls. IT is creepy and fascinating at the same time to see and walk around the church. It is a must visit and is hardly an hour drive from Prague.

Prague's largest cemetery, centuries old. Extraordinarily beautiful. Peaceful, tranquil and serene. I walk the same stretch of the road to our family grave, not too far from the main gate. To bring flowers and light a candle. For my grandparents, parents and my sister. I am always surprised how quiet and deserted this place feels, how vastly big it is. I spent time walking around, admiring the beautiful statuaries, the old family tombs, crypts, from centuries ago. The old trees that got older and have grown so much, since I was coming here as a child. The beautiful ivy that grows out of control over the old abandoned graves, no-one visits anymore. It is so quiet, so peaceful, so sad . I leave with a heavy heart...
