Látványos történelmi hely. A temetőbe 3 zloty a belépődíj.

No llevábamos zlotys sueltos, así que no pudimos entrar a verlo. Íbamos pagando en tiendas y bares con tarjetas de crédito, lo cual no suele ser un problema en esta zona de Polonia.

Niewielki ale historyczny cmentarz. Warto przyjść i zwiedzić 👍 Opłata za wstęp jest symboliczna, ale dzięki temu zbierane są fundusze na odrestaurowanie cmentarza.
