Very old, small cemetery. First mentioned in 1564 and the Magdalene Chapel was built about 20 years later. Burials have not taken place for decades. Today, volunteers take care of the constant maintenance of the area.
And... since 2021, the cemetery has been part of UNESCO's "intangible cultural heritage"!

Hiking

I swear I meant to just walk past a cemetery this time. I only glanced over the wall.

I was instantly blown away; it looks like something from another time. I couldn't tear my eyes away.

The photos don't even begin to capture the magic of this place!

DO NOT walk past it!!

Here's something else from the internet:
