I was there 3 years ago and it was impossible to get into the cemetery – it was so overgrown. This time the vegetation was cut and we could easily get around! What a nice surprise.

We were very well received by people of the municipality!

Moreover – bot Sara Sweiry and myself found gravestones of our family members!

The pictures of the cemetery are shown below.
