The Festival of The Giant Omelette in Bessières, France, Sedlec
Ossuary bone church in Prague and Starkenberger Beer Pools in Austria,
have been revealed as the top must-do alternative cultural experiences
in Europe.
Bob-sleighing around a scenic track in Prague, a charity Zombie walk
through the streets of Stockholm and a museum devoted entirely to actor
David Hasselhoff in Germany also featured highly in a new bucket list
compiled by travel experts for airline easyJet.
The poll-topping Festival of The Giant Omelette in Bessières is a
celebration of the legend that Napoleon’s army once feasted on an
omelette in the host village. Today, crowds can gather to watch the
giant omelette of 1,500 eggs being made.

Czechia. The 13th century monastery is decorated with over 40,000 human
bones.
