    Within the Drawieński National Park, we can find five interesting closed Evangelical cemeteries. They are usually located near non-existent settlements such as Zietenfier (Sitno), Steinbuscher Glashütte (Podszkle), Springe (Dąbrowa), Lüdertswalde bei Mariental and one in still inhabited Ostrowite. They are characterized by unusual stone tombstones in the shape of a tree trunk, symbolizing the cut down tree of life. They are so precisely reproduced that after years, when they are partially covered with lichen, it is difficult to distinguish them from real trunks. In Springe there is also an interesting tombstone in the shape of an open book. Since 2014, the DPN has started to renovate the cemeteries, the area of the necropolis has been cleaned, fenced and information boards have been set up, on which we can read the history of a given place. And so we will learn that the village of Spinge was founded after the Thirty Years' War as a grange and a sheepfold. There was a watermill and a brickyard here. An industrial railway with a length of 22 km was even built here, which was used to transport milk, cheese and bricks from the village. In its heyday, the village was inhabited by 212 people. On the other side of the road, opposite the cemetery, there was a school, and a bit further an inn. The village became depopulated in 1932. Today, the site of the village is located near the hamlet of Moczele.
