Charnel House

Space is not in abundance in car-free Hallstatt. Even the graveyard is tiny and attached to the cliffside. To make room for more bodies, skeletons from those buried more than ten years are unearthed, the skulls painted with the owner's name and a flower motif, and are stored neatly in shelves. The lady let us in and promptly shut the door, leaving us by ourselves with 1200 skulls and frankly, a little creeped out.
