Kunta Hora / Sedlec

For me I wanted to go to the town only for the bone covered ossuary as this can only be found in this city; no where else in the world. As I had booked a tour that meant I had to see the rest of the city as well and since the ossuary was a small basement I was glad that there was more to do that day then just that. On the trip I learned that Kutna Hora (the city of silver / treasury of the country) is where the silver mines were and where most of the silver for coins came from for European uses. The guide told us that these dolairs (misspelled for phonetics) where forged here and taken to the America's which is where we get our Dollars from. As this city is built on top of the silver mine, the roads have been known to randomly collapse under foot so just watch your step.
