At Olšany with Interesting Personalities - Part I — Olšany Cemetery, Prague

A guided walk through the oldest section of Olšany Cemetery.

A recently released series about Božena Němcová briefly brought some 19th-century figures to life, though their stories were sketched only superficially or not at all. It's a shame, because many of them lived fascinating lives - the national revival was far from dull. This walk will introduce you primarily to people from Božena Němcová's circle of friends and her contemporaries.
