Passing through the secluded path of the town of Hallstatt, you will come to the Catholic Church on the mountainside. It is surrounded by mountains and waters and is the best view overlooking the marina market. It is also home to the famous Hallstatt Catholic Church. The tombstones of the deceased in the front garden of the church are surrounded by a variety of flowers, and do not give a feeling of eerie, but on the contrary is a thriving scene. Walking into the church, a candle is lit up by people, some are lovers of the dead, and some are praying for themselves. Come here, there is another place that must not be missed, that is, the human bone church that is daunting but beautiful after the Catholic Church. There are rows of skulls lined with flowers and the names of the dead. Since the town is too small and there are not enough cemeteries, since 1600, the pagan customs of the Celtic burial have been practiced here, and the last skull was added in 1995.
