information about the Church of bones
location, a map as well as information about ticket

Sedlec Ossuary is

probably walk there by foot. It is interesting to know that
while the modern Kutna Hora is small in size and population, it
once was the second largest city in the Czech Republic, as
there was a big silver mine during medieval
times.
