The skull on the tower marks the site where the Neanderthal was found, a site long since sacrificed to limestone quarrying. The tower is only accessible to visitors of the Neanderthal Museum.

One of many tunnels on the Balkan route. A highlight? Well, it doesn't really have to be.

John Nepomuk or John of Pomuk (Latin: Joannes de Pomuk, Czech: Jan Nepomucký or Jan z Pomuka, * around 1350 in Pomuk near Pilsen; † March 20, 1393 in Prague) was a Bohemian priest and martyr. He was canonized in 1729 by Pope Benedict XIII and is considered the "bridge saint" and patron saint of the seal of confession. Besides crosses and depictions of Mary, sculptures of Saint John Nepomuk are the most common Christian stone figures found outside of churches in the open countryside of Catholic regions in southern Germany, Bohemia, Moravia, and Austria. Statues of the saint are very often located on or near bridges. The most famous of these, created in 1683 by Johann Brokoff, is located on the Charles Bridge in Prague at the spot where the saint was thrown into the Vltava River. " https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Nepomuk "... John Nepomuk lived from about 1350 to 1393. He died as punishment by being thrown from the Charles Bridge into the Vltava River and drowned. As a patron saint of bridges, his statue stands on many bridges in Europe. ..." 👉 Life and work of John Nepomuk and further information: https://www.erzbistum-koeln.de/presse_und_medien/magazin/Johannes-Nepomuk-der-Brueckenheilige
