In Hallstatt there is so little space for cemeteries that every ten years bones are exhumed and removed into an ossuary, to make room for new burials. A collection of elaborately decorated skulls with the owners' names, professions, death dates inscribed on them are on display at the local chapel.

This pear tree is grown right next to the wall where it gets the warmth from the wall.
