    This is an hour away on the intercity trains that go to Brno from the main train station in Prague. The notice boards are a complete mystery but the information desk will print you a useful timetable.
    The cemetery of the Sedlec monastery became the burial place for the rich after the abbot took a handful of sacred earth and sprinkled it at the monastery. After plague and war the cemetery was enlarged but later some parts were abolished, stacking the bones up outside the chapel. Eventually the bones were used to decorate the Ossuary by a woodcarver, Francis Rint. You don’t need to be religious to appreciate it - very creepy!
