Welcome to Kutná Hora
We took an afternoon tour to Kutná Hora east of Prague. The reason for the tour was to see the Church of the Bones, which we had heard about from a couple of different folks. To say it was unique was an understatement. The city itself was actually very pretty with multiple large churches for the size of the town and some great views into the valley. It was a good afternoon.
