    Nice to visit and honor those who were unjustly persecuted for their religious beliefs.

    Solemn and reverent place. Definitely sacred ground. Dirt roads only so you'll need a car wash afterwards.

    Leider habe ich nur den Erinnerungsstein und das Schild gesehen. Der Stein ist fast nicht mehr lesbar. Ein schönes Fleckchen Natur ist es auf jeden Fall, auch die idyllische Schotterstraße auf dem Weg dahin und wieder zurück.

    The gravel road was surrounded by beautiful fields full of deer. The site itself only has a very small parking lot and an old plaque. But if you read the story before you come (or while you are there), it is a place of significance and has a lovely and inviting spirit.

    A beautiful location for such a tragedy.
