Srbská Kamenice : Czech Republic

Srbská Kamenice (old German name: Windisch Kamnitz) is a village in the Czech Republic, North Bohemia, Ústí nad Labem Region. It was founded in early 11th century by Lusatian Sorbs, refugees from Germany after a military campaign of Henry II. In 2005, it has 206 inhabitants. There is a baroque church from the 18th century and an open air museum of Czechoslovak fortifications from 1938.
On January 27, 1972 stewardess Vesna Vulović was the only person on board to survive the crash of JAT Yugoslav Flight 364, which exploded 10,160 meters (33,000 feet) above Srbská Kamenice. This won her an entry in Guinness Book of Records. She visited the village again on the 30th anniversary in 2002. A local boarding house is named after her (Pension Vesna).
