The Jewish cemetery contains gravestones dating from 1767 to 1926. The rustic character of this cemetery creates a unique atmosphere.

Please leave the small stones on the gravestones in place, as they are placed instead of flowers. They are reminiscent of the (biblical) desert, where there are no flowers.

Old Jewish cemetery located in the middle of the forest. The entrance gate squeaks when you open it, don't be frightened. Following a small path, you can still see some gravestones, some of which are written entirely in Hebrew. Definitely worth a short tour.

There's something about an old cemetery in the middle of the forest. What kind of condition do you expect? It's just old. But condition is ok. That's why I don't understand Nancy's other tips.
