Sedlec Ossuary and Vienna are next on the blog. After 3 wonderful days in Prague, we set a bit further south to explore Sedlec Ossuary and Vienna.
The Sedlec Ossuary is a small Roman Catholic chapel, located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints in Sedlec, a suburb of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic. It is one of twelve World Heritage Sites in the Czech Republic. The ossuary is estimated to contain the skeletons of between 40,000 and 70,000 people, whose bones have in many cases been artistically arranged to form decorations and furnishings for the chapel.
Wiener Prater:
Perhaps the best-known attraction in the Prater is the Giant Ferris Wheel. Now this entrance to the Prater amusement park is a nostalgic theme world reminiscent of the Prater in the year 1900. Our little group felt like kids in here (bumper cars, rollercoasters, etc). Super fun night!
The weather drastically changed when we arrived in Vienna. From 95 degrees in Berlin just 6 days prior – we were trying stay warm amongst the rainy, 55 degree weather. None of us were prepared for such a temperature drop. Brrrrr.
After our tour ended, I still had a day to explore on my own. I check into my adorable little hotel – The Ruby Sofitel Hotel – absolutely amazing! Housed in the historic Sofiensäle, a former concert hall just a 5-minute walk from the Landstraße-Wien Mitte metro hub and the famous Hundertwasserhaus.
The weather started to change so I set out exploring my new hood and found some little gems throughout.
