The ossuary was much smaller than I’d thought it would be. I imagined caverns and tunnels all filled with bones, but it was just the one room. So, the possibilities there were quickly exhausted. We headed into the centre of town to see what there was there.

It was a long walk through grim suburbs, but Kutna Hora turned out to be really picturesque. For one thing, there was hardly anyone here. The town was dead, most things were closed, and it was a relief to be out of the Prague crowds. In the peace and quiet of the Sunday afternoon, we had a look around.

Wanting to find out when the trains to Prague left, we went to a tourist information office. They gave us train information, which was good, and they gave us coffee, which was very good. It was getting pretty cold out, and so this was a life saver.
