    Hiking

    In the Jewish faith, cemeteries are real "resting places for eternity" - quite unlike what is usual in Germany (and many other countries), for example, where graves are only "bought" for a limited period of time, say 20 years, and then fall into disrepair.

    Incidentally, men are asked to wear a head covering when entering a Jewish cemetery - provided it is open to the public - as a sign of respect for our "older brothers in the faith" (quote from Pope John Paul II).

    The cemetery was laid out in 1860 and the last burial took place in 1978.
