Hallstatt, Austria (part 2)

2007.12.26
A frozen waterfall on the "Themenweg Echerntal" nature trail.

Grave at the Catholic church in Hallstatt. The graveyard space is very limited, so bodies are buried for a dozen years or so and then exhumed and the skulls are inscribed with the names and dates and stored inside the church.

There is a protestant church down by the lake, but I don't know what they do with their graves... mind you they are right next to the lake... just kidding!

Hallstatt at night. It's easy to see why this place is a UNESCO World Heritage site.


More shots from our stay in Hallstatt, Austria. More to come.
