Kind of obvious what's awesome about it. A church decorated in human bones. Urns, candelabra, garlands, chandeliers, tombs... all made of bones. Pictured here is the Schwarzenberg coat of arms, rendered in bones. The surrounding cemetery also has a lot of interesting graves.

It was also kind of a pleasant adventure getting out there, navigating the train system. Arguing with French girls about which train to take. Finding an ice-cold half-liter bottle of beer for about a buck, sipping it within sight of the ossuary on a hot summer's day.
